2 × 108 atoms of carbon are arrang | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter Structure of Atom, Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions

Question:

2 × 108 atoms of carbon are arranged side by side. Calculate the radius of carbon atom if the length of this arrangement is 2.4 cm.

Answer:

Total Length = 2.4 cm

Total number of atoms along the length = 2 × 108

Therefore diameter of each atom = 2.4 / (2 × 108)

= 1.2 x 10-8 cm

And radius of the atom = (1.2 x 10-8) / 2

= 0.60 x 10-8cm

= 0.060 x 10-9m

= 0.060nm

As we know that 10^-9m =1nm, that's why m is directly written to nm.....

As we convert nm to m by multiplying by 10^(-9). Similarly we can divide the given value by (10^-9).
