Question

The radius of an atom of element X is 1.2x10m The radius of the centre of the atom is 1/10000 the radius of the atom Calculate the radius of the centre of an atom of element X

Answer 1

Answer:

$radius=1.2x10^{-3}m$

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the given information, the radius is computed via:

$radius=1.2x10m*\frac{1}{10000}=1.2x10^{-3}m$

By assuming that the radius of the element is 1.2x10m, nevertheless, that is a pretty much big radius for an atom in meters, maybe a power is missing, but you can modify it by just including it in the aforesaid formula.

Best regards.
