An Angstrom (symbol: Å) is a unit of measure.
The Angstrom unit is most suitable for describing a measurement of atomic distance, the the distance between two atoms in a molecule.
For example the main gaseous components of air are: 78% Nitrogen (N2), 21%
Oxygen (O2) and 1% Argon (Ar).
The Angstrom unit is used to measure some of the size attributes of these gases:
N2 gas has 2 atoms of Nitrogen, O2 gas has 2 atoms of Oxygen. Argon gas is a single atom.
N2 gas has 2 atoms attached with a bond length of 1.09 Å
O2 gas has 2 atoms attached with a bond length of 1.21 Å
N2 gas has a diameter of 3.16 Å *
O2 gas has a diameter of 2.96 Å *
Ar gas has 1 atom with mean radius of 0.95Å
* This is a "gas viscosity kinetic diameter" as N2 and O2 are not spherical.
The Angstrom unit is one ten-billionth of a meter.
To put the Angstrom size in perspective:
1.0 Meter, 1 M
0.01 ^10-2 CentiMeter, hundredth, 1/100 M
0.001 ^10-3 MilliMeter, thousandth, 1/1,000 M
0.000001 ^10-6 MicroMeter, millionth, 1/1,000,000 M (aka. micron)
0.000000001 ^10-9 NanoMeter, billionth, 1/1,000,000,000 M
0.0000000001 ^10-10 Angstrom 10 billionth, 1/10,000,000,000 M
0.000000000001 ^10-12 PicoMeter, trillionth, 1/1,000,000,000,000 M

You can measure a pine cone in inches, centimeters, miles, yards, feet, etc. You can use any form of measurement for measuring a pine cone, and other objects as well. The most suitable form of measurement for a pine cone would probably be the inches.
Feet or metres would seem the most suitable.
Which thermometer is most suitable for measuring boiling point of water mercury or alcoholic thermometer
Kelvin
millimeters
Probably the most suitable unit of measurement.
The most suitable unit for measurement is the milliliter and the beaker that is most suitable for accurate and precise measurement is the graduated cylinder.
one angstrom microscope
moving iron and eletrostatic type
A diagram sketch would be the most suitable graphic organizer for describing the parts of a plant cell. Other types of graphic organizers are idea web, sequential, and compare and contrast.
The comparative forms of "suitable" are "more suitable" and "less suitable". The superlative forms of "suitable" are "most suitable" and "least suitable".
The Smaller Atoms [H to Ca] are in the [single] Angstrom range.
The comparative forms of "suitable" are "more suitable" and "less suitable". The superlative forms of "suitable" are "most suitable" and "least suitable".
the most suitable for recrystrallizing acetanilide is water..
Yes there most certainly is, however you may not have the equipment to measure it. 0.001 mm is a micron. 0.000001mm is a nanometre. 0.000000001mm is a picometre. See angstrom, femto and attometre also.
The clay is most suitable for making toys.
