calulating the radius.....please help..

calculate the radius of Hg atom which has spherical geometry{density=13.6 gm/cc,atomic weight=200gm}...please show the process..

Active member

not sure but may be you should do it like this(do it with calci...)

mass(say m)= 200*1.67262158
× 10^{-24 gram}density(d)=density=13.6 gm/cc,

get volume(v)=m/d

use v=4/3 pie R*R*R

get R and see if you are getting the correct ans.

hey!y r u doing 200 *[....] to get mass?

1 amu = 1.6*10^-24gram=mass of 1 proton or 1/12 of carbon 12 atom
