उत्तर
Density of sodium, d = 1013 \[\text{ kg/ m}^3\]
Volume, V = 1m3
We know that 23 g sodium contains 6 atoms, so the number of atoms in 1023 kg sodium will be
\[\frac{1013 \times {10}^3 \times 6 \times {10}^{23}}{23}\]
\[ = \left( \frac{1013 \times 6}{23} \right) \times {10}^{26} \]
\[ = 264 . 26 \times {10}^{26}\]
(a) As the number of maximum possible electrons that can occupy the 3s band is 2, the total number of states in the 3s band will be
\[N = 2 \times 264 . 26 \times {10}^{26} \]
\[ = 528 . 52 \times {10}^{26} \approx 5 . 3 \times {10}^{28}\]
(b) As the atomic number of sodium is 11, its electronic configuration is \[1 s^2 , 2 s^2 , 2 p^6 , 3 s^1\] .
This implies that the 3s band is half-filled in case of sodium, so the total number of unoccupied states is 2.65 × 1028.
