The difference between the sizes of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms can be calculated by subtracting the size of the hydrogen atom from the size of the oxygen atom.
Size of hydrogen atom = 1.2 * 10^-10 m
Size of oxygen atom = 0.000000000152 m = 1.52 * 10^-10 m
Difference = Size of oxygen atom - Size of hydrogen atom
Difference = 1.52 * 10^-10 m - 1.2 * 10^-10 m
Difference = 0.32 * 10^-10 m = 3.2 * 10^-11 m
Therefore, the difference between the sizes of these atoms in scientific notation is 3.2 * 10^-11 m.
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)
