Electrical properties were determined for a new material called dragonite which is considered to be a metallic conductor. It was found that its electrical conductivity is 2.5*10^7 and electron mobility is 0.003 . For dragonite, you can assume a density of 8.1 and an atomic mass of 75.4 .
What is the number of free electrons per atom in this material? Enter your answer as a number to two decimal places.
Conductivity is given as :
where:
: conductivity
: electron concentration
: charge of 1 electron ( = 1.6*10-19)
: electron mobility
Plugging in values:
density,
Number of free electrons per kg of dragonite
Molecular weight,
Number of free electrons per mol of dragonite
Number of free electrons per atom of dragonite
