`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

An atom will cover length equal to its diameter
Diameter of carbon atom `= (2.4)/(2 xx 10^8)`
`= 1.2 xx 10^(-8) cm`
`= 1.2 xx 10^(-10) m`
Radius of carbon atom = `(1.2 xx 10^(-10))/(2)`
`=0.6 xx 10^(-10)m`
`= 0.06 xx 10^(-9) m`
`= 0.06 nm` .
