The size of a hydrogen atom is about 1.2×10−10 m across. The size of an oxygen atom is 0.000000000152 m across. What is the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation?(1 point)
The size of the hydrogen atom is 1.2 x 10^(-10) m, and the size of the oxygen atom is 1.52 x 10^(-10) m.
To find the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents:
(10^(-10)) - (10^(-10)) = 0
Thus, the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation is 0.
(1.52 - 1.2 ) * 10^-10 = 1.32 * 10^-10
Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct.
The difference between the sizes of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in scientific notation can be calculated by subtracting the values:
(1.52 - 1.2) x 10^(-10) = 0.32 x 10^(-10) = 3.2 x 10^(-11)
Therefore, the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation is 3.2 x 10^(-11).
Sorry, I subtracted wrong
.32 * 10^-10 = 3.2 * 10^-11
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct.
The difference between the sizes of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in scientific notation can be calculated by subtracting the values:
(1.52 - 1.2) x 10^(-10) = 0.32 x 10^(-10) = 3.2 x 10^(-11)
Therefore, the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation is 3.2 x 10^(-11).
To find the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation, we need to subtract the size of the hydrogen atom from the size of the oxygen atom.
Given:
Size of hydrogen atom = 1.2 × 10^-10 m
Size of oxygen atom = 0.000000000152 m
To express both sizes in the same unit, we need to convert the size of the oxygen atom to scientific notation:
0.000000000152 = 1.52 × 10^-10
Now, we can subtract the size of the hydrogen atom from the size of the oxygen atom (in scientific notation):
1.52 × 10^-10 - 1.2 × 10^-10 = 0.32 × 10^-10
In scientific notation, we can rewrite 0.32 × 10^-10 as:
3.2 × 10^-11
Therefore, the difference between the sizes of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, expressed in scientific notation, is 3.2 × 10^-11.
