Given below are densities of some solids and liquids Give rough estimates of the size of their atoms Substance Carbon diamond Gold Nitrogen liquid Lithium Fluorine liquid Atomic Mass u 12 01 197 00 14 01 6 94 19 00 Density 10 Kg m 2 22 19 32 1 00 0 53 1 14 Hint Assume the atoms to be tightly packed in a solid or liquid phase and use the known value of Avogadro s number You should however not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few
