Question 35

If the diameter of a carbon atom is 0.15 nm, calculate the number of carbon atoms which can be placed side by side in a straight line across length of scale of length 20 cm long.

Answer

Diameter of carbon atom = 0.15nm = 0.15 x 10-9m = 1.5 x 10-10m

Length along which atoms are to be placed = 20cm = 20x10-2m = 2 x 10-1m

Therefore no of carbon atoms which can be placed along the length

= (2 x 10-1m) / (1.5x10-10 )

=1.33x109
