2 xx 10^(8) atoms of carbon are arranged side by side. Calculate the radius of carbon atom if the length of this arrangement is 3.0 cm

2 xx 10^(8) atoms of carbon are arranged side by side. Calculate the r

1.	2 xx 10^(8) atoms of carbon are arranged side by side. Calculate the radius of carbon atom if the length of this arrangement is 3.0 cm
Answer» Solution :Total length = 3.0 cm Total number of ATOMS ALONG the length `= 2 xx 10^(8)` `:.` DIAMETER of each atom `= (3.0 cm)/(2 xx 10^(8)) = 1.5 xx 10^(-8) cm` `:.` RADIUS of the atom `= (1.5 xx 10^(-8) cm)/(2) = 0.75 xx 10^(-8) cm = 0.075 xx 10^(-7) cm` `= 0.075 xx 10^(-9) m = 0.075 nm`
