Strings in Nanotechnology

[Chem_Mod]

One question asks "The field of nanotechnology offers some intriguing possibilities...Suppose you were able to string together 1.00 mol Ag atoms, each of radius 144 pm, into one of these fibers by encapsulating them in carbon nanotubes. How long would the fiber extend?" Do I double 144 pm then multiply it by avogadro's constant since I am given only the radius and not the diameter? I'm confused because the solution guide just multiplied 144 pm with avogadro's constant.

[Chem_Mod]

Yes, you should double the radius to get the proper length. The solution is incorrect.

Will their be other examples of industrial uses of coordination compounds on the final?

If there are other industrial uses on the final, I don't think we have to know them by heart. I'm sure he'll give us all the information we need in the problem since we didn't really go over industrial uses in class.
