For this case we have:

[tex]10 ^ {- 20}[/tex], we must run the decimal point 20 spaces to the left.

[tex]0.00000000000000000010 \ kg[/tex]

[tex]10 ^ {- 12}[/tex], we must run the decimal point 12 spaces to the left.

[tex]0.000000000010 \ kg[/tex]

Thus, it is observed that the mass of a small virus is smaller!

We subtract and obtain:

[tex]10 ^ {-11}[/tex]

ANswer:

The mass of a small virus is less!
