A student measures the width of a strip of zinc foil three times. The radius of a zinc atom is 0.13 nm0.13\,\text{nm}0.13nm.
| Measurement | Width of strip (mm) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.84 |
| 2 | 0.86 |
| 3 | 0.85 |
Use the measurements and the atomic radius to estimate how many zinc atoms could be arranged edge-to-edge across the strip.
