The radius of a potassium atom is 231 pm. how many potassium atoms would have to be laid side by side to span a distance of 4.77 mm?

2.06× atoms

Explanation:

The radius of potassium atoms= 231 pm

convert parts per million into m i.e, by multiplying by

= 231×

Potassium atoms would have to laid down at a distance apart= 4.77 mm

convert millimeter into meter i.e, by multiplying by

= 4.77 ×

Now, we have to find the number of potassium atoms,

Number of potassium atoms=

Number of potassium atoms=2.06×

Number of potassium atoms=  2.06× atoms

Hence, the correct answer is  2.06× atoms

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
