Atomic Volume of Protactinium (Pa) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Atoms have a theoretical atomic volume, even Protactinium. Ok, so what is the atomic radius of Protactinium?

Note: Learn more about the molar (or atomic) volume here.

In the case of Protactinium the atomic volume is 15.0 cm³/mol. There are interesting things about Protactinium that people don't know about...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Atomic Volume of Protactinium (Pa) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
