Select the correct answer. The radius of a nitrogen atom is 5. 6 × 10-11 meters, and the radius of a beryllium atom is 1. 12 × 1

A negative exponent means the number of the exponent divide by the number. The the radius of beryllium atom is larger than the radius of a nitrogen atom by two times.

Given information-

The radius of a nitrogen atom is $5.6\times10^{-11}$ meters.

The radius of a beryllium atom is $1.12 \times10^{-10}$ meters

<h3>Negative exponents</h3>

A negative exponent means the number of the exponent divide by the number.

As the radius of the nitrogen atom is $5.6\times10^{-11}$ meters. Convert it in the power of negative exponent of 10.

Let the radius of the nitrogen is $r$ mm. Thus,

$r=5.6\times 10^{-11}\\
r=5.6\times 10^{-10-1}\\
r=5.6\times 10^{-10}\times10^{-1}\\
r=\dfrac{5.6\times 10^{-10}}{10} \\
r=0.56\times 10^{-10}$

Now the base of the exponents of both the atoms are same. As the radius of the nitrogen atom is $0.56\times 10^{-10}$ meters and the radius of the beryllium atom is $1.12 \times10^{-10}$ . Thus the radius of beryllium atom is larger.
