For you chem experts, help now! 5.Tinas actual atomic radius is 140 pm. Use the math equation below to determine the percent error of your estimated value. Percent error = actual value-estimated value / actual value × 100 This equation means that you subtract to find the difference between the actual value and the experimental value. The numerator is in an absolute value sign, so the difference should always be positive. Take that difference and divide by the actual value of tinas atomic radius. Take your answer and multiply by 100 to make

The rest: it a percentage, and that is your percent error. Percent error is a common calculation in science.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

whats the estimated value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i actually estimated 140, is it still possible to do the problem?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

your percent error would be zero percent, and you can mathematical show that: % error = [(140- 140)/140]x100% = 0%
