13.14 Given below are densities of some solids and liquids. Give rough estimates of the size of their atoms:

Substance

Atomic Mass (u)

Density ( 103Kgm-3)

Carbon ( Diamond)

12.01

2.22

Gold

197.00

19.32

Nitrogen (liquid)

14.01

1.00

Lithium

6.94

0.53

Fluorine (liquid)

19.00

1.14

[Hint : Assume the atoms to be 'tightly packed' in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro's number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].

13.14 Let the atomic mass of a substance be = M and the density of the substance be = ?

Avogadro's number, N = 6.023 *1023

Volume of N number of molecules =43? r3N ……. (i)

Volume of one mole of a substance =M?  …… (ii)

Equating (i) and (ii), we get

43? r3N=M?
