Question

Nitrogen and oxygen are the most abundant gases in Earth’s atmosphere. A nitrogen molecule is 0.00000000003 meters larger than an oxygen molecule. Which statements describe writing 0.00000000003 in scientific notation? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

0.00000000003 in scientific notation is 3.0 x 10^-11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 0.00000000003 can be converted to scientific notation by moving the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we would move the decimal point 11 places to the right to get 3.0 x 10-11. The exponent, -11, indicates how many places the decimal point was moved.

So, the correct statement would be:
0.00000000003 in scientific notation is 3.0 x 10-11.

Answer 2

(these are the answer choices ppl)

The exponent is negative.

The exponent is positive.

The coefficient is 0.3.

The exponent represents the number of places the decimal moves.

The decimal moves to the right.

(its a, d, e)
