The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The radius of an aluminum atom is about 140 picometers. How many spherical aluminum atoms could line up across a page of paper?The paper's width is 21.59 cm. Converting to picometers, the width is 2.159 x 1011 pm
I used the ratio of width of the page in picometers divided by the diameter of the aluminum atom
(2.159 x 1011pm)/(280pm)
I got 7.71x108 aluminum atoms.
I am not sure if this is the answer.
