To subtract \( 4.66 \times 10^{-5} - 7.34 \times 10^{-7} \), we need to express both numbers with the same exponent.

Let's convert \( 4.66 \times 10^{-5} \) to a form with \( 10^{-7} \):

\[
4.66 \times 10^{-5} = 4.66 \times 10^{-5} \times \frac{100}{100} = 4.66 \times 10^{-5} = 466 \times 10^{-7}
\]

Now we can perform the subtraction:

\[
466 \times 10^{-7} - 7.34 \times 10^{-7} = (466 - 7.34) \times 10^{-7} = 458.66 \times 10^{-7}
\]

To express this in scientific notation, we convert \( 458.66 \) back to a number that is between 1 and 10:

\[
458.66 \times 10^{-7} = 4.5866 \times 10^{-5}
\]

So, the result of the subtraction \( 4.66 \times 10^{-5} - 7.34 \times 10^{-7} \) is:

\[
\boxed{4.5866 \times 10^{-5}}
\]

To find how much the U.S. national debt increased from 1971 to 2021, we will perform the subtraction:

\[
\text{Debt in 2021} - \text{Debt in 1971} = 2.9617 \times 10^{13} - 3.98 \times 10^{11}
\]

First, we need to express both numbers with the same exponent. Let's convert \( 3.98 \times 10^{11} \) to a form with \( 10^{13} \):

\[
3.98 \times 10^{11} = 0.0398 \times 10^{13}
\]

Now we can perform the subtraction:

\[
2.9617 \times 10^{13} - 0.0398 \times 10^{13} = (2.9617 - 0.0398) \times 10^{13} = 2.9219 \times 10^{13}
\]

So, the increase in the national debt over the 50-year period is:

\[
\boxed{2.9219 \times 10^{13}}
\]

To find the difference between the sizes of a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom, first express both sizes in scientific notation:

1. **Hydrogen atom:** \( 1.2 \times 10^{-10} \) m
2. **Oxygen atom:** \( 0.000000000152 \) m, which can be expressed in scientific notation as:
\[
0.000000000152 = 1.52 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}
\]

Now, we can calculate the difference:

\[
\text{Size difference} = \text{Size of Hydrogen} - \text{Size of Oxygen}
\]
\[
= (1.2 \times 10^{-10}) - (1.52 \times 10^{-10})
\]

To perform the subtraction, we can do:

\[
1.2 - 1.52 = -0.32
\]

Now, we express \( -0.32 \times 10^{-10} \) in scientific notation.

To convert \( -0.32 \) into scientific notation, we write it as:

\[
-0.32 = -3.2 \times 10^{-1}
\]

So, combined with \( 10^{-10} \):

\[
-0.32 \times 10^{-10} = -3.2 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^{-10} = -3.2 \times 10^{-11} \text{ m}
\]

However, as we are looking for the absolute difference in size, we take the absolute value, hence:

\[
\text{Difference} = 3.2 \times 10^{-11} \text{ m}
\]

Thus, the answer is:

\[
\boxed{3.2 \times 10^{-11} \text{ m}}
\]
