Respuesta :
The length of the protein molecule, in meters, is 208 × 10⁻⁹m.
What is an atom?
- An atom is a matter particle that defines a chemical element uniquely.
- An atom is made up of a central nucleus and one or more negatively charged electrons.
- The nucleus is positively charged and contains one or more protons and neutrons, which are relatively heavy particles.
To find the length of the protein molecule:
Diameter of hydrogen atom = 104 × 10⁻¹⁰m
We are given that A protein molecule has an overall length of 2000 times (or 2 cross times 10 cubed times) the diameter of a hydrogen atom.
- Length of protein molecule = 2000 × Diameter of the hydrogen atom
- Length of protein molecule = 2 × 10⁺³ × 1.04 × 10⁻¹⁰
- Length of protein molecule = 2 × 1.04 × 10⁻¹⁰⁺³
- Length of protein molecule = 2 × 1.04 × 10⁻⁷
- Length of protein molecule = 2.08 × 10⁻⁷
- Length of protein molecule = 208 × 10⁻⁷⁻²
- Length of protein molecule = 208 × 10⁻⁹m
Therefore, the length of the protein molecule, in meters, is 208 × 10⁻⁹m.

The correct question is given below:
The diameter of a hydrogen atom is about 1.04 cross times 10 to the power of negative 10 end exponent meters. A protein molecule has an overall length of 2000 times (or 2 cross times 10 cubed times) the diameter of a hydrogen atom. What is the length of the protein molecule, in meters, if it were written in scientific notation?
