Answer:

2.1 x 10^-3

Explanation:

The easiest way to remember scientific notation is to count the zeros. In this example, there are 3 zeros, therefore the exponent must be 3. The way to know if it is a negative or a positive exponent is to see which side of the decimal point the number is. Since this is a very small number, it is a negative exponent.

Hope that helps :)
