A negative exponent means the number of the exponent divide by the number. The the radius of beryllium atom is larger than the radius of a nitrogen atom by two times.

Given information-

The radius of a nitrogen atom is 5.6\times10^{-11} meters.

The radius of a beryllium atom is 1.12 \times10^{-10} meters

<h3>Negative exponents</h3>

A negative exponent means the number of the exponent divide by the number.

As the radius of the nitrogen atom is 5.6\times10^{-11} meters. Convert it in the power of negative exponent of 10.

Let the radius of the nitrogen is r mm. Thus,

r=5.6\times 10^{-11}\\&#10;r=5.6\times 10^{-10-1}\\&#10;r=5.6\times 10^{-10}\times10^{-1}\\&#10;r=\dfrac{5.6\times 10^{-10}}{10} \\&#10;r=0.56\times 10^{-10}

Now the base of the exponents of both the atoms are same. As the radius of the nitrogen atom is 0.56\times 10^{-10} meters and the radius of the beryllium atom is 1.12 \times10^{-10}. Thus the radius of beryllium atom is larger.

To calculate how many times, the radius of beryllium atom should be divided by the radius of a nitrogen atom. Thus,

=\dfrac{1.12\times10^{-10}}{0.56\times10^{-10}} \\&#10;=2

Thus the the radius of beryllium atom is larger than the radius of a nitrogen atom by two times.

Answer:

506.7 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of cardboard needed would be the surface area of the cone,

S= pi(r)(l+r) where r is the radius and l is the slant height.

You can find l using the Pythagorean theorem. l²=r²+h² which is l²=6²+20² and you get l = √436.

Plug r and l into the equation: S = 6pi(√436 + 6) = 506.7 cm²

Let me know if you have any questions about my steps!
