Tabular error "Missing $ inserted" with springer format

Question

Please, how can I fix this error?

Missing $ inserted.

\begin{table}[]
\centering
\caption{Different datasets with its sizes, types, ADF test, and compression ratio. }
\label{tabadf}
%\begin{adjustbox}{width=1\textwidth}
%\small
\scalebox{0.5}{
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|cccccc|c|c|}
\hline
Dataset               & Data type & Dataset size &  test   & A\_value  & \multicolumn{6}{c|}{Critial DATA}                                                                                                                              & Result:        & Comunic \\ \hline
A                     & Int 32    & 3000         & -767 & 5.04\times 10^{-10}  & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{1\%} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{-87.7} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{5\%} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{-2.864} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{10\%} & -1.518  & Stat_da     & 14.72       \\ \hline
B                     & Int 32    & 4000         & -34.304 & 3.94\times 10^{-13}  & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{1\%} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{-3.4} &
\end{tabular}}
%\end{adjustbox}
\end{table}

5.04\times 10^{-10} is math so should be $5.04\times 10^{-10} $ — David Carlisle, Oct 24 '23 at 19:23
Also, there's Stat_da. And don't use \scalebox or adjustbox on a table. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/332902/107497 for options. — Teepeemm, Oct 24 '23 at 19:35

Please always provide MWE (Minimal Working Example), a small but complete document, which can be compiled as it is.
Your problem (s) are solved by comments.
Don't scale table. This lead to inconsistent font size in table. Rather reduce \tabcolsep size and font size used in table.
In your table I would use S columns types for aligning numbers at decimal points and avoid problem with writing number, which cause errors in your table.
For table I would instead of tabular rather use tblr of tabularray package.
Example of MWE considering aforementioned is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage[skip=1ex]{caption}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\UseTblrLibrary{siunitx}
\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[ht]

    \centering

   \begin{tblr}{hlines, vlines,
                colsep  = 3pt,
                colspec = {{3}{Q[c]} 
                                Q[c, si={table-format=-3.3}]
                                Q[c, si={table-format=-1.2e-2}]
                                c Q[c, si={table-format=-2.1}]

                                X[c]
                                X[c, si={table-format=2.2}]
