Want to know the molecular size of some heavy metals
Want to know the molecular size of some heavy metals
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I am glad to find such a good forum like this and this is my first time to post a question in this forum. I am now doing a research on the adsorption of heavy metals using some bio-material. Things i would like to know in order to explain the adsorption mechanism is the molecular size of Copper, Cadmium, Lead, Nickel and Zinc.
What in my sound is that molecular size is some thing different from molecular weight but i really don't know where to find such that data. How small is it? and if possible, i would also want to know the molecular structure of these heavy metal (3D) as well.
Anyone can suggest me a resouce or suggestion for me please.
Best regards,
LPY
