Question
A hydrogen atom is about $0.1 \mathrm{nm}$ in diameter. How many hydrogen atoms lined up side by side would make a line $1 \mathrm{cm}$ long?
Step 1
1 \mathrm{nm}$. We know that $1 \mathrm{nm}$ is equivalent to $10^{-9} \mathrm{m}$. Therefore, the diameter of a hydrogen atom in meters is $0.1 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{m}$, which simplifies to $10^{-10} \mathrm{m}$. Show more…
