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.

Voltage = 220 v Current = 4 amps Resistance = <br> 18 <br> 55 <br> 224 <br> 880
MAVERICK [17]
Hi.

I believe the formula for R when you have the voltage and current is:

V/I = R

Plugging in the numbers:

220/4 = 55

The answer is the second option, 55.
