Answer :

Answer:

[tex]d=4.75\times 10^{-9}\ \text{inches}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is [tex]1.21\times 10^{-8}\ cm[/tex].

We need to convert this distance in inches.

We know that,

1 cm = 0.393 inches

We can solve it as follows :

[tex]1.21\times 10^{-8}\ cm=0.393\times 1.21\times 10^{-8}\\\\=4.75\times 10^{-9}\ \text{inches}[/tex]

So, the distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms is [tex]4.75\times 10^{-9}\ \text{inches}[/tex].
