An atom of rhodium has a diameter of about 2.7×10^-8 cm. How many Rh atoms would have to be placed side by side to span a distance of 8.5μm? Please show work on how to get to the answer.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

divide the total distance spanned by the diameter of the atom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2.7x10^-8 cm would become 2.7x10^-4 ? micrometers?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then 8.5/2.7x10^-4

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yes
