Interpretation:
Whether a tiny ant can be seen by atomic force microscope but not by optical microscope or not should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Objects are categorized on the basis of size range they fall in. Macroscopic objects are those which lie in the size range that human eye can perceive and microscopic objects are those which need the use of specialized instruments like electron microscope or atomic force microscope.
Human eye can detect approximately up to the size of

- Why should nonscience majors study science?arrow_forwardUsing dimensional analysis show how you arrived at your answer. if the diameter of a sodium atom is 3.14 x 10^-8 cm, how many sodium atoms would fit along a straight line exactly one (1) inch long?arrow_forwardAn atom of rhodium (RhRh) has a diameter of about 2.7×10−8cm2.7×10−8cm. What is the radius of a rhodium atom in angstroms (ÅÅ)?arrow_forward
- Calculate the edge length in m and the volume in L for a cubical box that will “exactly” contain 4.32x1023 atoms. Assume the diameter of the Argon atom is 3.4 Å (1.000 Å = 1.000x10-10 m). Assume the atoms touch each other so that the closest distance between atomic centers (nuclei) is 3.4 Å and the atoms fill the box with MANY layers of Argon atoms.Note: a cubical box needs only one measurement to be defined because each edge of a cube is exactly the same length, l,so that the volume of the box, V = l3.arrow_forwardIf the radius of a silicon atom is 0.00000000118 cm, what is the radius in nm?arrow_forwardName two ways in which the metals shown here differ in generalappearance from the nonmetals.arrow_forward
- In heavy water, each of the hydrogen atoms is replaced by a deuterium atom. If the density of ordinary water at a given temperature is 1.000 g/cm3, what is the density of heavy water? Assume that the average distance between the molecules is the same in both cases.arrow_forward3. Chromium forms a body centered cubic crystal. If the length of an edge is 2.884 angstroms, calculate the density (g/cm) and the radius of a chromium atom in angstroms.arrow_forwardA student finds that 24.96 g of water at 24.9 C(density=0.9971 g/cm3) is required to completly fill an empty flask. The water is removed and completely dried; granular solid copper weighing 51.24g is then added to the flask. With the copper present in the flask, it was determined that 19.24 g of water was required to fill the remaining space in the flask completly 1.) volume of the empty flask 2.) volume of the copper 3.) density of the copperarrow_forward
- Choose the selection which most accurately gives both the value of the angle numbered 1 and the value of the angle numbered 2 in the figure above. Choose the best possible (most specific) answer. Other answers will be graded wrong. For example, if an angle is somewhat greater than 109.5 degrees, an answer which says that it is somewhat less than 120 degrees, while somewhat correct, will be graded wrong. a) Angle 1 is very close to 180 degrees and angle 2 is very close to 90 degrees. b) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees. c) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is very close to 90 degrees. d) Angle 1 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 120 degrees. e) Angle 1 is somewhat more than 109.5 degrees and angle 2 is somewhat less than 109.5 degrees.arrow_forward5.6 x 1012 is ... * Small than 1 O Larger than 1 60,900,000 is equal to * 6.9 x 10° 6.09 x 106 O 6.09 x 107 O 6.9 x 107arrow_forwardIn science it is often useful to estimate if a measurement is "in the right ballpark" by comparing it to a value that you already know. Given that the number of stars in the Milky Way is 100–400 billion and it is likely that most of the stars have at least one planet, what is the best estimate of the number of planets in the Milky Way?arrow_forward
