Chapter 1, Problem 35RGQ

Molecular distances are usually given in nanometers (1 nm = 1 $\times$10^{–9 m}) or in picometers (1 pm = 1 $\times$ 10^–12 m). However, the angstrom (Å) unit is sometimes used, where 1 Å = 1 $\times$ 10^–10 m. (The angstrom unit is not an SI unit.) If the distances between the Pt atom and the N atom in the cancer chemotherapy drug cisplatin is 1.97 Å, What is this distances in nanometers? In picometers?
