What is the value of one picometre?

[PercyColli]

I’m trying to understand measurements at the atomic scale. Can someone explain how long one picometre is in meters or nanometers?

 

[Lucas]

1 picometre = ( 1 \times 10^{-12} ) metre.

 

[simran]

One picometre (pm) equals 10⁻¹² metres, or 0.000000000001 metres.

 

[robbin]

One picometre (pm) is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹² metres, or 0.000000000001 m. It is extremely small and mainly used in atomic and molecular measurements. Atomic radii, bond lengths, and subatomic structures are often expressed in picometres because they fall within this tiny scale. One picometre equals 0.01 angstroms.

 

[sophie]

pm equals 0.001nm or 1/10/12 metres or 1 trillionth meter.

 

[peterkavinsky]

A picometre is a unit of length in the metric system.
One picometre equals one trillionth of a metre, written as:

1 picometre = 0.000000000001 metres
(or 10⁻¹² metres)

 

[jarwish]

One picometre (pm) equals 10⁻¹² metres, or 0.000000000001 m. It’s a trillionth of a metre, commonly used to measure atomic and subatomic distances such as bond lengths in molecules

 

[Zayden]

One picometre (pm) equals 0.001 nanometres, 1×10⁻¹² metres, or one trillionth of a metre. It is used for measuring extremely small distances, such as atomic and subatomic scales in physics, chemistry, and nanotechnology.

One picometre (pm) is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹² meters, or 0.001 nanometers. It’s commonly used in physics and chemistry to measure atomic and molecular scales, including bond lengths between atoms. Picometres help describe structures far smaller than can be seen with optical microscopes.
