The radius of a nitrogen atom is 5.6 × 10-11 meters, and the radius of a beryllium atom is 1.12 × 10-10 meters. Which atom has a larger radius, and by how many times is it larger than the other?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Beryllium, 2 times

Step-by-step explanation:

1.12×10⁻¹⁰ has a higher exponent than 5.6×10⁻¹¹.

-10 > -11

The ratio between them is:

(1.12×10⁻¹⁰) / (5.6×10⁻¹¹)

(1.12 / 5.6) (10⁻¹⁰ / 10⁻¹¹)

0.2 × 10¹
