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].
