How many oxygen atoms lined up in a row in one nanometer space?

Depends on the the atom size. A hydrogen atom is 0.12 nanometer in diameter, which would make the answer 1/0.12= 8.33.
A cesium atom is 0.34 nanometer, which would make the answer 1/0.34= 2.94.
The answer is thus dependent on the element.

What makes up a molecule of water?
H20, which would mean two hydrogens and one of oxygen. They combine by sharing their electrons, the hydrogens put their one electron in the outer electron cloud of the oxygen. the oxygen has six valance electrons, so it still has space for two more.
Are there more moves on a chess board than atoms in space?
more than all the positive atoms in space
There is space between atoms in a mixture?
of course! the space between atoms is always very small, but there is always spaces, even in solids
How is oxygen produced in space?
There is no oxygen in space. The oxygen in space stations is created through a process called electrolysis, which uses energy from solar panels to split water (H2O) into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2).
Why is the density of an oxygen nucleus much greater than that of oxygen gas?
Almost all of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus (a nucleon weighs about 2000 times more than an electron) and almost all of an atom is empty space; the nucleus is much smaller than an atom. And a gas also is composed almost entirely of empty space between the atoms or molecules. So the density of an oxygen nucleus is vastly greater than that of oxygen gas.
Do the atoms of solids have space between them?
There is space between atoms of solids that is in the range of a couple of tenths of a nanometer.
What is the purpose of the lined space next to the handicapped space?
The lined space is reserved for the loading and unloading of wheelchairs.
How does rust affect magnets?
Magnetism is the "lining up" of atoms. Iron atoms line up easily and tend to stay lined up. Rust is iron plus oxygen plus space: since there is less iron in a given volume of rust than in the same volume of solid iron, there are fewer iron atoms present to be polarized.
Does Aluminum rust on Mars?
NO BUT....In outer space, metal objects don't rust exactly like they do on earth, but something similar to rusting can occur in space. On earth, metal rusts when the iron atoms in the metal interact with water molecules. These interactions break the chemical bonds that hold the atoms in the metal together, and at the same time allow the atoms in the metal to form new bonds with oxygen atoms and/or water molecules, producing the red, crumbly material we know as rust. This material is actually a combination of metal atoms and oxygen atoms, so metal cannot rust on its own; oxygen or water needs to be added to it. In the vacuum of outer space, there is very little water or oxygen. A metal object therefore cannot rust in space like it would on Earth. However, even in outer space there are still a few oxygen atoms around. Also, in space there are some types of light (called ultraviolet light) that can break chemical bonds between atoms (most of this ultraviolet light doesn't reach us here on the ground because it can't pass through the Earth's atmosphere). When these atoms and ultraviolet light strike metal in space, they can produce some of the same combinations of metal and oxygen atoms found in rust. Because the density of atoms in outer space is very low, it takes many years for much of this "rust" to form on any object. We can get a sense of just how slowly things rust in space by looking at iron meteorites, chunks of metal that have fallen to earth from outer space, Before they crash-landed on earth, these bits of metal drifted around the solar system for millions or even billions of years, and yet for the most part they are still chunks of pure metal with little rust. Even so, the small amount of rust formed on metal objects in outer space can be important because it changes the color and texture of the objects' surface. These surface changes happen not only to metal objects, but to rocks as well, and they need to be taken into account if scientists want to figure out what objects in outer space are made of based on how they look through telescopes.

How will astronauts get oxygen out of space?
They need to take it with them. There is no oxygen in space
How many nanoseconds are in a nanometer?
3.335640952 x 10^-9 nanoseconds If Einstein is right and light is a constant, and your measuring a straight line. You can not measure something moving faster than the constant speed of light moving through a nanometer worth of space, if you were to it would have to move faster than 3.335640952 x 10^-9 nanoseconds per nanometer. That is the maximum potential measurement of time in a nanometer on a straight line.
Can people breath in space if they do not have a helmet on?
No. In space there is no oxygen and oxygen is what you breathe.
How do astronauts get oxygen in space?
Astronauts bring tanks of oxygen with them when they go into space. The space suits they use to make space walks also have small oxygen tanks on them.
How can fire lighten in space without oxygen if there is no oxygen then how can a space shuttle come back?
The space shuttle is able to fire its engines in space because it takes the needed oxygen with it.
What type of oxygen is in outer space that make us use helmets?
There is no oxygen in space. Astronauts have to take oxygen with them.
