Answer:

0.118 nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The radius of the silicon atom =
$1.18* 10^(-8)\text{ cm}$

We know that,

1 centimeter =
10^7 nanometer,

$\implies 1.18* 10^8\text{ cm}=1.18* 10^(-8)* 10^7=1.18* 10^(-8+7)=1.18* 10^(-1)\text{ nm}=0.118\text{ nm}$

Hence, the radius of the silicon atom would be 0.118 nm
