Answer: (3)
Medeleev arranged elements in order of increasing atomic weight and similar properties
He noticed that similar elements were grouped together by using this.
Answer:
The length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm
Explanation:
Face centered cubic structure contains 4 atoms in each unit cell and 12 coordination number, occupying about 74% volume of the total cell. Face centered cubic structure is known for efficient use of space for atom packing.
To determine the edge length, a relationship between the radius of the atom and edge length is used.
X = R√8
Where;
X is the length of an edge of this unit cell
R is the radius of the gold atom = 144 pm = 144 X 10⁻¹² m
X = 144 X 10⁻¹²√8
X = 407.294 X 10⁻¹² m
X = 407.294 pm
Therefore, the length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm
