Using the table below, make a plot of atomic volume versus atomic number, for the elements from Z = 30 to Z = 59 listed in the table. Comment on the structure of your graph in relation to the periodic table, the electronic structures of atoms, and their chemical properties. (Volumes are in units of 10^-30 m³ .)
