To express the Bohr radius of a hydrogen atom in scientific notation, we need to write it in the form of a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by 10 raised to a power.
The Bohr radius given is 0.0000000000529.
To convert this to scientific notation, we move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. Count how many places you moved the decimal to the right, and that will be the exponent.
In this case, we moved the decimal point 11 places to the right.
Therefore, the Bohr radius of a hydrogen atom in scientific notation is 5.29 * 10^-11.
