Średni ciężar atomowy, średnia objętość i promień atomu chondrytu Creston (L5/6)

Mean atomic weight Amean, mean volume and mean radius of atom of Creston ordinary chondrite (L5/6 S4 W0) felt in 2015 in Creston near Paso Robles, California has been calculated using literature data on chemical composition of the meteorite (Jenniskens et al. 2019). The aim of the studies was to determine Amean, Vatom, and Ratom values for this new meteorite, and compare the data with the values obtained for two other ordinary chondrites: Ensisheim (LL6), and Jezersko (H4). Calculations were conducted for the whole rock, for silicates, and for Fe, Ni metal of Creston, and Ensisheim chondrites. It was shown that the mean atomic weight of the whole rock of Creston chondrite Amean = 24.06. Creston’s silicates revealed the value: Ameansi = 21.92, and Creston’s Fe,Ni metal: Ameanmet = 56.25. It was calculated that the average volume of the Creston’s atom Vatom = 1.111·10–29 m3 (sample CR05), and 1.115·10–29 m3 (sample CR06). Average radius of Creston’s atom: Ratom = 138.5 pm, mean radius of atom of Creston silicates: Ratomsi = 138 pm, and mean radius of atom of Creston metal: Ratommet = 142 pm.
