Small Size

The Meter is the metric unit with the whole 1. below.

---

Meter. mm, micron, nano, pico
1. 000, 000, 000, 000

New idea of just coming here to this page and reviewing these figures.
Remember 1 is 001 because units are in , 000, thousands.
There is 4 of them so maybe the unit name is the least confusing.
Each unit I would add the name, like 100 microns or 100 um.

Meter 1.
mm      .001
um       .000, 001
nm       .000, 000, 001
pm       .000, 000, 000, 001 pico
            .000, 000, 000, 1 angstrom

Learn the SI sub-units with a little study.

. mm
0.001
millimeter

um
0.000, 001, or 1/1000 of a millimeter
micron - mew - 1u

nm
0.000, 000, 001 = 10^-9
nanometer

pm
0.000, 000, 000, 001 = 10^-12
picometer

0.000, 000, 000, 100 = A
Angstrom

0.000, 000, 001
10 Angstroms or 1 nanometer

If a book says 50 microns you can come to this page for help
and figure it out amongst all the zeros. HA

Size in Radii / its in picos

Hydrogen
.000, 000, 000, 037

Nitrogen
. 000, 000, 000, 055

Oxygen
.000, 000, 000, 060

Carbon
.000, 000, 000, 077

Chlorine
.000, 000, 000,1
Notice this is 1 Angstrom

Go figure. Shall we go really small?

---

My study tells me a water molecule is about 4 sq. Angstrom
A nucleotide, you know DNA, is 1-nano wide. DNA helix is 2-nanometers wide.
This is small. Water is 3 atoms and DNA atoms is a dozen or so. It should add up.

Approximate Size Of Atoms

Periodic Table . . . size in bond radii at the bottom of table

We are talking about really small. That is how Hi-Tech is now. All I am
trying to do is show and see it. As we learn somethig we can go on. That is
where the world really is. See what I mean?

Smaller yet from CERN . . . "How can I say it"?

---

See the lunitics thinking looking away from earth to space dust Origin ?

CERN and the really small particles in the atom.

Powers of ten

Powers of Ten just move cursor across small pictures to start

Another explaination I am trying

Smaller even yet from Google search

The smallest yet with quarks

I am trying to learn the smaller parts of the atom

May 4,
How is this for learning inside the atom ?

Does this help ? . . . . added June '04
