1. The radius of a hydrogen atom is 0.0000000529177 of a millimeter. Express this number as an approximation.
The radius of a hydrogen atom is approximately 5.3 x 10^-11 millimeters.
To express the given number as an approximation, we can round it to a more convenient decimal place. In this case, we can round it to four decimal places.
Therefore, the approximation of the radius of a hydrogen atom is 0.000000053 millimeters.
To express the given number as an approximation, we can round it to a more manageable value.
The given number, 0.0000000529177 millimeters, is quite small. To make it easier to work with, we can convert it to scientific notation.
The given number in scientific notation is 5.29177 × 10^(-8) millimeters.
Now, to approximate this number, we can round it to a specific number of significant figures. Let's round it to three significant figures.
So, rounding 5.29177 × 10^(-8) millimeters to three significant figures yields:
5.29 × 10^(-8) millimeters.
Therefore, the approximation of the radius of a hydrogen atom is 0.0000000529 millimeters.
