To compare the numbers in scientific notation, we can convert them to their decimal form:

  1. 3.24 × 10^(-5) = 0.0000324
  2. 4.68 × 10^(6) = 4,680,000
  3. 5.48 × 10^(-2) = 0.0548
  4. 8.34 × 10^(6) = 8,340,000
  5. 1.2 × 10^(1) = 12

Now, let's arrange them from smallest to largest:

  1. 3.24 × 10^(-5) = 0.0000324
  2. 5.48 × 10^(-2) = 0.0548
  3. 1.2 × 10^(1) = 12
  4. 4.68 × 10^(6) = 4,680,000
  5. 8.34 × 10^(6) = 8,340,000

So the ordered list from smallest to largest is:

  1. 3.24×10^(-5)
  2. 5.48×10^(-2)
  3. 1.2×10^(1)
  4. 4.68×10^(6)
  5. 8.34×10^(6)
