Length of the edge , a = 290 pm =290 x 10-10 cm

Volume of unit cell = ( 290 x 10-10 cm )3 = 24.39 x 10-24 cm3

Since it is bcc arrangement,

Number of atoms in the unit cell, Z = 2

Atomic Mass of the element = 50

Mass of the atom = atomic mass/ Avogadro number = M/No = 50/6.02 x 1023

Mass of the unit cell = Z x M/No = 2 x 50/6.02 x 1023 = 100/6.23 x 1023

Therefore , density = mass of unit cell / volume of unit cell

= 100/6.023 x 1023 x 24.39 x 10-24 = 6.81 g cm-3

What is Rutherford's atomic theory?

Rutherford's model includes a high density nucleus containing most of the mass, along with electrons circling the nucleus having a low density.


Does a substance having high optical density have to have a high physical density?

It's not necessary. If a compound has high optical density, it means that it absorbs more light at the given wavelength than some reference compound. There is no simple relation between density of matter and optical density. Even more I am pretty sure you can find a lot of compounds with lower densities (of matter) but having high optical density.


Is an element a pure substance made up of two kinds of atoms?

No, an element is a pure substance having a specified atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. There may be isotopes of an element having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.

Why is the density of silicon less than carbon?

The density of an element is determined by its atomic mass and atomic structure. Silicon has a larger atomic mass compared to carbon, but its atomic structure is less compact, leading to a lower density. Silicon atoms are larger and have more space between them, resulting in a lower mass per unit volume compared to carbon. This difference in atomic structure and arrangement contributes to the lower density of silicon compared to carbon.
