Question

The distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is 1.21 x 10-8 cm. What is this distance in inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is $4.76\times 10^{-9}inch$

Explanation:

We know, 1 inch = 2.54 cm

So, $1.21\times 10^{-8}cm=(1.21\times 10^{-8})\times (\frac{1}{2.54})inch$

                                              = $4.76\times 10^{-9}inch$

So the distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is $4.76\times 10^{-9}inch$
