Question

A quantity of this type times q must be less than 1 for points on a Zimm plot, which is used to calculate the second virial coefficient, molecular mass, and this quantity. One quantity of this type multiplies 6 pi and viscosity in the denominator of the Stokes-Einstein relationship, which allows it to be calculated in dynamic light scattering. (-5[1])Apparently, values of the hydrodynamic form of this quantity (-5[1])may serve as an approximation of (*) volume in gel permeation chromatography. The root mean square volume of this quantity for a macromolecule is also called this value “of gyration.” (10[1])A form of this quantity measured in angstroms is cubed (-5[1])in the formula for the van der Waals volume. For 10 points, name this quantity, the sum of which for two bonded atoms equals the bond length. ■END■ (10[2]0[1])

ANSWER: radius [accept radius of gyration or hydrodynamic radius or van der Waals radius or atomic radius]
