Which direction does the decimal move from mega meters to meters

To solve this problem, let us first understand what does mega meters mean. Now by definition, mega means a factor of one million which is a unit prefix in Metric Systems of units. It is denoted by the unit symbol M.

So for example if we have a mega of something, it means a million of something. So in this case, if we have 1 mega meter, what it means is 1 million meter, which is written as:

1 mega meter = 1,000,000 meter

To show the decimal points:

1.0 mega meter = 1,000,000.0 meter

So we see that the decimal point move 6 zeroes to the right, therefore the direction is to the right.

6 places to the right

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
