the distance between atomes is sometimes given in picometers, where 1pm is equivalent to 1×10^12m if the distance between the carbon atomes in diamond is 2.81×10^8,what is the distance in picometers?

Distance between the carbon atom = 491 pm

Explanation:

Given:

1 pm = 1 × 10⁻¹² m

Distance between the carbon atom = 2.81 × 10⁻⁸ cm

Find:

Distance in picometers

Computation:

Distance between the carbon atom = 2.81 × 10⁻⁸ cm = 491 X 10⁻¹² m

Distance between the carbon atom = 491 pm

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
