Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
The mass of sodium crystal = 4.14 g
As a result, the number of atoms in the sodium crystal is:
[tex]=4.14 \g \times \dfrac{ 1 \ mol}{23.0 \ g }\times \dfrac{6.023 \times 10^{23} \ atoms}{1 \ mol}[/tex]
= 1.084 × 10²³ atoms
In the valence orbital of the sodium atom, there is just one electron.
As a result, the number of molecular orbitals produced by these atoms is= 1.084 × 10²³ molecular orbital
Because valence bands are created from occupied molecular orbitals, the number of valence bands created from the aforementioned molecular orbitals is:
[tex]= \dfrac{ 1.084 \times 10^{23}}{2}[/tex]
= 5.420 × 10²² orbitals.
