An elemental crystal has a density of . The packing efficiency is 0.68. The closest distance of approach between neighbouring atom is . What is the mass of one atom approximately?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The packing efficiency , means the given lattice is . The closest distance of approach Let atomic weight of the element $=\mathrm{a}\begin{aligned} \therefore \frac{2 \times 9}{36 \times 10^{23} \times(3.3)^{3} \times 10^{-24}}=8.57 \\ \mathrm{a}&=8.57 \times3 \times(3.3)^{3} \times0.1 \\ \text{ and } =92.39 \simeq 93 \mathrm{amu} \end{aligned}$$$
