  • (iii) 4,700,000,000 = 4.7×1094.7 \times 10^9
  • (iv) 25,780,000 = 2.578×1072.578 \times 10^7

2. Write the following numbers in scientific notation:

  • (i) 0.00002 = 2×1052 \times 10^{-5}
  • (ii) 0.000000542 = 5.42×1075.42 \times 10^{-7}
  • (iii) 0.000000093 = 9.3×1089.3 \times 10^{-8}
  • (iv) 0.003142 = 3.142×1033.142 \times 10^{-3}

3. Write the following numbers in normal form:

  • (i) 4.12 × 10^4 = 41,200
  • (ii) 7.8 × 10^7 = 78,000,000
  • (iii) 1.235 × 10^8 = 123,500,000
  • (iv) 6.01 × 10^5 = 601,000

4. Write the following numbers in normal form:

  • (i) 6 × 10^-5 = 0.00006
  • (ii) 5.32 × 10^-4 = 0.000532
  • (iii) 9.6 × 10^-8 = 0.000000096
  • (iv) 2.102 × 10^-3 = 0.002102

5. Compare: Fill in the blanks with <,><, > or ==:

  • (i) 2.3 × 10^-6 << 4.65 × 10^-5
  • (ii) 7 × 10^-20 >> 9 × 10^-21

6. Astronomy: Write the following facts in scientific notation:

  • (i) Average diameter of the Earth is 12,756,000 metres = 1.2756×1071.2756 \times 10^7 metres
  • (ii) The temperature at the core of the Sun is 15,600,000 kelvins = 1.56×1071.56 \times 10^7 kelvins
  • (iii) The population of India as in 2023 is 143 crores = 1.43×1091.43 \times 10^9
  • (iv) Diameter of an oxygen atom is 0.000000000132 metres = 1.32×10101.32 \times 10^{-10} metres
  • (v) Mass of an average human cell is about 0.000000000001 kg = 1×10121 \times 10^{-12} kg

7. Multiple Choice Question (MCQ):

The thickness of a soap bubble is about 0.000004 metres. Write the thickness in scientific notation.

  • Correct answer: (c) 4 × 10^-6 m
