Iron has a density of 7.86 g/cm3 (1 cm3=1 ml). calculate the volume (in dl) of a piece of iron having a mass of 4.84 kg . note that the density is provided in different units of volume and mass than the desired units of volume (dl) and the given units of mass (kg). you will need to express the density in kg/dl (1 cm3 = 1 ml) before calculating the volume for the piece of iron.

"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."
