Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given distance is 115 pm. 
To convert pm to cm, we need to divide by 10^10 (because 1 pm = 10^-10 cm). 
Therefore, the distance in cm will be:
115 pm ÷ 10^10 = 1.15 × 10^-8 cm, which is option B.

The Average Distance Between Nitrogen and Oxygen Atoms Is 115
