Answer : The radius of a barium atom in angstroms is,
2.22\AA

Explanation :

The conversion used for radius from meter to angstroms is:


(1m=1* 10^(10)\AA)

As we are given the radius of a barium atom in meter (m) is,
2.22* 10^(-10)m

Now we have to determine the radius of a barium atom in angstrom.

As,
1m=1* 10^(10)\AA

So,
2.22* 10^(-10)m=(2.22* 10^(-10)m)/(1m)* (1* 10^(10)\AA)=2.22\AA

Therefore, the radius of a barium atom in angstroms is,
2.22\AA
