Answer: The scientific notation for the given number is
6.02* 10^(23)

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a number into scientific notation, we start shifting the decimal to left till we reach a coefficient between 1 to 10. The number of places that we have shifted the decimal to left will be expressed in an exponent.

Now, to convert the number
602* 10^(21) in scientific notation, we move the decimal to two places towards the left and we add 2 into the exponential power.

The given number in scientific notation is:
6.02* 10^(23)
