`2xx10^(8)` atoms of carbon are arranged side by side. Calculate the radius of carbon atom if the length of this arrangement is `2.4 cm`.

Explanation

The length of the arrangement = 2.4 cm
Total number of carbon atoms present `= 2xx10^(8)`
Diameter of each carbon atom `=((2.4 cm))/((2xx10^(8)) = 1.2 xx 10^(-8) cm`
Radius of each carbon atom `=(1)/(2) (1.2 xx 10^(-8))=6.0 xx 10^(-9) cm = 0.06 nm`
