Calculate the density a rectangular block of a metal whose length is 8.335cm width is 1.02cm height is 0.982cm and mass is 62.3538gm.

Density rectangular block = 7.47 (Approx) gm/cm³

Explanation:

Given:

Length = 8.335 cm

Width = 1.02 cm

Height = 0.982 cm

Mass = 62.3538 gm

Find:

Density rectangular block

Computation:

Volume of block = lbh

Volume of block = (8.335)(1.02)(0.982)

Volume of block = 8.3486 cm³

Density = Mass / Volume

Density rectangular block = 62.3538 / 8.3486

Density rectangular block = 7.47 (Approx) gm/cm³

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
