Explanation
Exponential notation (scientific notation) is used to express very small (e.g., 0.0000001) or very large (e.g., 1000000000) quantities compactly by representing numbers as powers of 10 . Key Information : Format : a × 10^n, where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer. Used for very large or very small numbers . Examples: Large number : 6.022 × 10^23 ( Avogadro's number ) Small number : 1.6 × 10^-19 ( Charge of an electron )
