he radius of a hydrogen atom is 0.0000000529177 of a millimeter. Express this number as an approximation.(1 point)Responses

1 answer

The radius of a hydrogen atom is approximately \( 5.29 \times 10^{-11} \) meters. To express this in millimeters, we note that 1 millimeter is \( 10^{-3} \) meters.

Converting the radius into millimeters:

\[ 5.29 \times 10^{-11} \text{ m} = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} \times 10^{3} \text{ mm} = 5.29 \times 10^{-8} \text{ mm} \]

So the approximation of the radius of a hydrogen atom is \( 5.3 \times 10^{-8} \) millimeters (rounded to two significant figures).
