Third one, it's nice and simple. Noticed an error in this though, there is no such thing as a salt molecule! (a molecule has covalent bonds). Salt is an ionic compound and therefore consists of ions not molecules.

@Dragonsayian Yeah, you're right! Thanks for the correction, i nearly broke my brains on this one. Hahaha.

@ercheksargo Actually your as little off If a 1mm was stretched to a 1,000 meters a (kilometer) then a Nanometer would be A millimeter .Okay a Nm is 1 million times smaller than an Millimeter and a MM is a million times smaller than a Kilometer . If your stretched a meter then you answer would be right on .

As thick as half a brick? Boy! Think of 1 millimeter stretched to 1,000 kilometers (Sydney to Brisbane). On this 1,000 km long road 1 millimeter is your prescious NANOMETER! Woopee!

@mangoLE10 Ionic compounds can still be thought of in terms of formula units and unit cells. What he referred to as a molecule of salt there was a unit cell of NaCl.

I Like The #3rd Video ;)

The first one. They showed this in my class, and get this, they all looked like our teachers!

The last one.

A nonometer is just a term for a very small meter, just like a cenitmeter, millimeter, etc....
It's usefull for everything that is very small, more typical would be current CPUs like a 45nm (nanometer) cpu.
How many atoms are there in a nanometer?

It varies depending on the element believe it or not. For reference though, roughly six gold atoms is about one nanometer.
