Chapter 1, Problem 1.52E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of copper atom $1.05\times {10}^{-22}\text{g}$ is to be written in the decimal form without using scientific notation.

Concept introduction:

Scientific notation is used to write large numbers or small numbers as the product of a nonexponential term and exponential term in the form of $M\times {10}^n$. The $M$ is any number between $1$ to $10$ written with a decimal after first non-zero digit in the number and $n$ is the exponent which may be positive or negative.

In decimal form only non-exponential term is present.
