A certain atom has a radius of 2.7 X 10-1 nm and a mass of 2.21 X 10-22 g.  What is the density of the atom? Assume that the atom is a sphere.  The volume of a sphere is given by: ?=43??3V=43πr3     where r is the radius and ?=3.14
Use a magnifying glass to look at the grains of table salt that come out of a salt shaker. Compare what you see with 42.11a. The distance between a sodium ion and a nearest- neighbor chlorine ion is 0.261 nm. (a) Make an order-ofmagnitude estimate of the number N of atoms in a typical grain of salt. (b) What If? Suppose you had a number of grains of salt equal to this number N. What would be the volume of this quantity of salt?
