NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!
The diameter of a hydrogen atom is about 5×10^-15 meter. Suppose 8.4×10^8 hydrogen atoms were arranged side by side in a straight line. Multiply these numbers to find the length of this line of atoms. What is the length in scientific notation?

Select one:

a. 4.2×10^−2 meter
b. 0.042 meter
c. 42×10^−3 meter
d. 4.2×10^−3meter

Respuesta :

5 * 8.4 = 42
10^-15 * 10^8  = 10^-7

length  = 42 * 10^-7

in scientific notation this is  4.2 * 10^-6

Answer:

I'm a few years late, lol, but um the answer is 42 x [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] meters

For all the people who still need the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x [tex]10^{-11}[/tex] and 8.4 x [tex]10^{8}[/tex]

5 x 8.4 = 42  (multiply like terms)

[tex]10^{-11}[/tex] + [tex]10^{8}[/tex] = [tex]10^{-3}[/tex]  (add the exponents)

42 x [tex]10^{-3}[/tex]
