What is the scientific notation to 850095? Is it 8.5 x10^4

8.50095 x 10^5

Explanation:The purpose of scientific notation is for scientists to write very large, or very small, numbers with ease.

Calculating scientific notation for a positive integer is simple, as it always follows this notation:

a x 10b

Follow the steps below to see how 850,095 is written in scientific notation.

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 850,095

New Number: 8.50095

Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number:8.50095

Decimal Count:  12345

There are 5 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x 10b

a = 8.50095

b = 5

Now the whole thing:

8.50095 x 105

Step 4

Check your work:

105 = 100,000 x 8.50095 = 850,095

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
