Answer:
8.2 x 106^-11
Explanation:
To begin this problem you must remember the basic rule of scientific notation, which is, must be between 1-10. .000000000082 is much smaller than 1. However by moving the decimal 11 spots to the right, we can make it 8.2
Continue to move the decimal to the right until the value is in the 1-10 range. Make sure to count the moves to the right.
Once the decimal is in the right spot count the spots moved.
Since the number is wayyy smaller than the answer given the number will be negative 10^-11, in order to make it what is was before.

Answer:
Cyclopropane has a planar carbon back bone while propane does not
Explanation:
We have to recognize that in straight chain saturated organic compounds, carbon atoms have a tetrahedral geometry. Each carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms.
However, carbon atoms in cyclic compounds are also sp3 hybridized with each carbon bonded to only four other atoms but the ring system is highly strained.
Cyclopropane is a necessarily planar molecule with a bond angle that is far less than the expected tetrahedral bond angle due to strain in the molecule. Hence, the carbon atoms may have have a "planar backbone".
