Question

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium atoms side by side in contact with one another. How many atoms would it take to make the distance 2.60 cm from end to end? × 10 He atoms (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)

Answer 1

The number of atoms are
`1.86*10^(8)`.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Diameter
`D = 1.40*10^(2)\ pm`

`D=1.40*10^(2)*10^(-12)\ m`

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

`Number\ of\ atoms =(2.60*10^(-2))/(1.40*10^(2)*10^(-12))`

`Number\of\atoms =1.86*10^(8)`

Hence, The number of atoms are
`1.86*10^(8)`.
