To write 0.105 in scientific notation, you want to express it in the form of ( a times 10^n ), where ( 1 leq a < 10 ) and ( n ) is an integer.

1. Move the decimal point in 0.105 one place to the right to get 1.05.
2. Since we moved the decimal point to the right, we will use a negative exponent. Specifically, we moved it one place, so ( n = -1 ).

Therefore, 0.105 in scientific notation is ( 1.05 times 10^{-1} ).
