An exhibition uses spheres to represent particles in a gas. A real particle has a diameter of 0.25 nm. In the exhibit, each sphere is 5.0 mm in diameter and there is a gap of 155 mm between the surfaces of neighbouring spheres. Every length is represented using the same scale.
What is the typical distance between the centres of neighbouring real particles?
7.75 nm
8.0 nm
31 nm
40 nm
