The size of a hydrogen atom is about 1.2×10−10 m across. The size of an oxygen atom is 0.000000000152 m across. What is the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation?(1 point)

The size of the hydrogen atom is 1.2 x 10^(-10) m, and the size of the oxygen atom is 1.52 x 10^(-10) m.

To find the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents:

(10^(-10)) - (10^(-10)) = 0

Thus, the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation is 0.
(1.52 - 1.2 ) * 10^-10 = 1.32 * 10^-10
Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct.

The difference between the sizes of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in scientific notation can be calculated by subtracting the values:

(1.52 - 1.2) x 10^(-10) = 0.32 x 10^(-10) = 3.2 x 10^(-11)

Therefore, the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation is 3.2 x 10^(-11).
Sorry, I subtracted wrong
.32 * 10^-10 = 3.2 * 10^-11
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct.

The difference between the sizes of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in scientific notation can be calculated by subtracting the values:

(1.52 - 1.2) x 10^(-10) = 0.32 x 10^(-10) = 3.2 x 10^(-11)

Therefore, the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation is 3.2 x 10^(-11).
