QUESTION:
A sample of gaseous neon atoms at atmospheric pressure and \(0\ ^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) contains \(2.69 \times 10^{22}\) atoms per liter. The atomic radius of neon is 69 pm. What fraction of the space is occupied by the atoms themselves? What does this reveal about the separation between atoms in the gaseous phase?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
From the given,
Atomic radius of the neon = 69 pm
Number of atoms present in the Neon sample at =
