The answer is: " 1.75 * 10 ^(-10) m " . _________________________________________________________ Explanation: _________________________________________________________ This very question asked for "Question Number 3 (THREE) ONLY, which is fine! _________________________________________________________ Given: " 0.000000000175 m " ; write this in "scientific notation. _________________________________________________________ Note: After the "first zero and the decimal point" {Note: that first zero that PRECEDES the decimal point in merely a "placeholder" and does not count as a "digit" — for our purposes} — There are NINE (9) zeros, followed by "175" _______________________________________________________ To write in "scientific notation", we find the integer that is written, as well, as any "trailing zeros" (if there are any—and by "trailing zeros", this means any number consecutive zeros/and starting with "the consecutive zeros" only —whether forward (i.e., "zeros following"; or backward (i.e. "zeros preceding").
In our case we have "zeros preceding"; that is a decimal point with zeros PRECEDING an "integer expression"<span> </span><span> (the "integer" is "175").</span> ______________________________________________________ We then take the "integer expression" (whatever it may be: 12, 5, 30000001 ; or could be a negative value, etc.) ;
→ In our case, the "integer expression" is: "175" ;
and take the first digit (if the expression is negative, we take the negative value of that digit; if there is only ONE digit (positive or negative), then that is the digit we take ;
And write a decimal point after that first digit (unless in some cases, there is only one digit); and follow with the rest of the consecutive digits of that 'integer expression' ;
→ In our case: "175" ; becomes: " 1.75" . __________________________________________________ Then we write: " * 10^ " __________________________________________________ {that is "[times]"; or "multiplied by" : [10 raised exponentially to the power of <u> </u> ]._____________________________________________________ And to find that power, we take the "rewritten integer value (i.e. "whole number value that as been rewritten to a single digit with a decimal point"); and count the [number of "trailing zeros"; if there are any; PLUS the number of decimal places one goes] ; and that number is the value to which "10" is raised. {If there are none, we write: " * 10⁰ " ; since "any value, raised to the "zero power", equals "1" ; so " * 10⁰ " ; is like writing: " * 1 " .
If there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or any number of decimal places, to the "right" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the right is: { the numeric value (i.e. positive number) of the power to which "10" is raised }.
Likewise, if there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or any number of decimal places, to the "LEFT" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the LEFT is the value of the power which "10" is raised to; is that number—which is a negative value.
In our case: we have: 0.000000000175 * 10^(-10) .
Note: The original notation was:
→ " 0.000000000175 m "
{that is: "175" [with 9 (nine) zeros to the left].}.
We rewrite the "175" ("integer expression") as:
"1.75" . ____________________________________________________ So we have: → " 0.000000000175 m " ;
Think of this value as:
" 0. 0000000001{pseudo-decimal point}75 m ".
And count the number of decimal spaces "backward" from the "pseudo-decimal point" to the actual decimal; and you will see that there are "10" spaces (to the left). ______________________________________________________ Also note: We started with "9 (nine)" preceding "zeros" before the "1" ; now we are considering the "1" as an "additional digit" ; → "9 + 1 = 10" . ______________________________________________________ Since the decimals (and zeros) come BEFORE (precede) the "175" ; that is, to the "left" of the "175" ; the exponent to which the "10" is raised is: "NEGATIVE TEN" { "-10" } .
So we write this value as: " 1.75 * 10^(-10)m " .
{NOTE: Do not forget the units of measurement; which are "meters" —which can be abbreviateds as: "m" .} . ______________________________________________________ The answer is: " 1.75 * 10^(-10)m " . ______________________________________________________
The answer is really simple, because if you have 1 nonmetal element that has a subscript of 2, you need to multiply the product and the first reactant by 2 to balance it.
Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. When you heat it, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty orbitals at higher levels Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.
