The actual diameter of an atom is about a tenth of a nanometer (10​
(mostly N​ and O​ ) at room temperature and a pressure of one atmosphere -- 10​ Pa.
1. Calculate the number of molecules in the sample of gas.
2. Estimate the average spacing between the molecules.
3. Estimate the average speed of a molecule using the relation between the KE of a
molecule and the temperature.
4. Suppose that the gas were rescaled upwards so that each atom was the size of a tennis
ball. What would be the average spacing between molecules?

probably NO2(comprised mostly of N and O)

The human body contains about 10^(14) cells, and the diameter of a typical cell is about 10 micrometers. Like all ordinary matter, cells are made of atoms; a typical atomic diameter is 0.1 nanometers. I have all of the correct answers, but I do not know how to get to these answers or solve them on my own. I would like to get explanations (why?) and see how it should be done (math being done). a) How does the number...

Each "2p" electron deep inside a Tungsten atom is influenced mostly by 74 protons in the nucleus (treat as a point), and the 4 electrons (treat as shells around the nucleus) which are interior to it (2 in 1s and 2 in 2s). How fast does one of these "2p" electrons need to be moving, to travel around a circular orbit with radius 3.158[pico-meter]? {me=0.911E−30[kg]}
