Question

the diameter of a pearl is about 4×10-¹⁴ cm and the diameter of an atom is about 10-¹¹ m. how much larger than an atom is a pearl?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The diameter of an atom is 25000  times the diameter of a pearl.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The diameter of a pearl is $4\times 10^{-14}\ cm$

The diameter of an atom is $10^{-11}\ m=10^{-9}\ m$

Taking the ratio,

$\dfrac{\text{diameter of an atom}}{\text{diameter of a pearl}}=\dfrac{10^{-9}\ m}{4\times 10^{-14}\ m}\\\\=25000$

So, the diameter of an atom is 25000  times the diameter of a pearl.
