(a) What is the atomic radius of atungsten atom in this environment? (This radius is calledthe metallic radius.) (b) If you put tungsten metal underhigh pressure, predict what would happen to the distancebetween W atoms.

The prefix eka- comes from the Sanskrit word for “one.”Mendeleev used this prefix to indicate that the unknownelement was one place away from the known element thatfollowed the prefix. For example, eka-silicon, which we nowcall germanium, is one element below silicon. Mendeleevalso predicted the existence of eka-manganese, which was notexperimentally confirmed until 1937 because this element isradioactive and does not occur in nature. Based on the periodictable shown in Figure 7.1, what do we now call the elementMendeleev called eka-manganese?
