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.
Length of the given arrangement = 2.4 cm
Number of carbon atoms present = 2 × 108
∴ Diameter of carbon atom
=2.4×10−2m2×108=1.2×10−10m
∴ Radius of carbon atom = Diameter2
=1.2×10−10m2=6.0×10−11m
