Ahypothrticalax type of ceramic material is known to have a density of 2.10 g/cm3 and a unit cell of cubic symmetry with a cell edge length of 0.57 nm. the atomic weights of the a and x elements are 28.5and 30.0 g/mol, respectively. on the basis of this information, which of the following crystal structures is (are) possible for this material: sodium chloride, cesium chloride, or zinc blende

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.

Which of the following observations indicates that there is a small, dense, positively charged part in the center of an atom? some uncharged particles are scattered by a gold foil. all uncharged particles are attracted towards a gold foil. all positively charged particles pass straight through a gold foil. some positively charged particles bounce back from a gold foil.
