We know that the relationship between angstrom and mm is 1:1x10^{-7}.

Knowing the radius of an atom of gold (1.35 angstroms), we can solve for how many atoms fit into 9.0mm:

\frac{1.35angstrom}{1} *\frac{1x10^{-7}mm}{1angstrom} =1.35x10^{-7}mm

\frac{9.0mm}{1} ÷ \frac{1.35x10^{-7}mm}{1}

\frac{9.0mm}{1} *\frac{1}{1.35x10^{-7}mm}=\frac{9.0x10^{0}}{1.35x10^{-7}}= 6.7x10^{7}

Therefore, we now know that 6.7x10^{7} atoms of gold (Au) will line up to span 9.0mm.

The radius of an atom of gold (Au) is about 1.35 Å. Gold atoms would have to be lined up to span 9.0 mm in the amount of 3.333 * 10^7

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au and atomic number 79. Its one of the higher atomic number elements that occured naturally. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal

The radius of an atom of gold (Au) is about 1.35 Å. How many gold atoms would have to be lined up to span 9.0 mm ?

Its known that the diameter of an atom is twice the radius = 2*1.35 angstrom = 2.70 angstrom

Then we convert the diameter of an atom in mm

2.70 angstrom * \frac{10^-10 m}{1 angstrom} cot \frac{10^3 mm}{1m} = 2.70 * 10^-7 mm

Then to calculate the number of the gold atoms, we have to divide 1 mm by the diameter of an atom

\frac{9 mm}{2.7*10^-7 mm} = 3.333 * 10^7

A(n) _______________ can be formed by linking together several monosaccharides via glycosidic bonds.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A polysaccharide (n) can be formed by linking several monosaccharides through glycosidic linkages.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates or complex carbohydrates, where monosaccharides join with glucosidic bonds to form a more complex structure that would be the polysaccharide.

An example of a polysaccharide is starch, or glycogen.

Starch is found in many foods such as potatoes or rice, and glycogen is a form of energy reserve of our organism housed in muscles and liver to fulfill locomotion, physical activity, and other activities that consist of glycolysis.

Polysaccharides are degraded in our body by different stages, and several enzymes unlike monosoccharides or disaccharides, since they have more unions and a more complex structure to disarm in our body and thus assimilate it.

Polysaccharides are also part of animal structures, such as insect shells or nutritional sources, among others.

Which piece of the planetary object data could be used to decide if there actually is a solid surface to land on?
zloy xaker [14]
A planetary surface is where the solid (or liquid) material of the outer crust on certain types of astronomical objects contacts the atmosphere or outer space. Planetary surfaces are found on solid objects of planetary mass, including terrestrial planets (including Earth), dwarf planets, natural satellites, planetesimals and many other small Solar System bodies (SSSBs).[1][2][3] The study of planetary surfaces is a field of planetary geology known as surface geology, but also a focus of a number of fields including planetary cartography, topography, geomorphology, atmospheric sciences, and astronomy. Land (or ground) is the term given to non-liquid planetary surfaces. The term landing is used to describe the collision of an object with a planetary surface and is usually at a velocity in which the object can remain intact and remain attached.

In differentiated bodies, the surface is where the crust meets the planetary boundary layer. Anything below this is regarded as being sub-surface or sub-marine. Most bodies more massive than super-Earths, including stars and gas giants, as well as smaller gas dwarfs, transition contiguously between phases, including gas, liquid, and solid. As such, they are generally regarded as lacking surfaces.

Planetary surfaces and surface life are of particular interest to humans as it is the primary habitat of the species, which has evolved to move over land and breathe air. Human space exploration and space colonization therefore focuses heavily on them. Humans have only directly explored the surface of Earth and the Moon. The vast distances and complexities of space makes direct exploration of even near-Earth objects dangerous and expensive. As such, all other exploration has been indirect via space probes.

Indirect observations by flyby or orbit currently provide insufficient information to confirm the composition and properties of planetary surfaces. Much of what is known is from the use of techniques such as astronomical spectroscopy and sample return. Lander spacecraft have explored the surfaces of planets Mars and Venus. Mars is the only other planet to have had its surface explored by a mobile surface probe (rover). Titan is the only non-planetary object of planetary mass to have been explored by lander. Landers have explored several smaller bodies including 433 Eros (2001), 25143 Itokawa (2005), Tempel 1 (2005), 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (2014), 162173 Ryugu (2018) and 101955 Bennu (2020). Surface samples have been collected from the Moon (returned 1969), 25143 Itokawa (returned 2010), 162173 Ryugu and 101955 Bennu.
