Question

Describe the size and scale of an atom. Explain the relative of the nucleus in relation to the size of an entire atom.

Answer 1

Size of an atom:

• Diameter is 10^-10

Size of a nucleus:

• Diameter 10^-15

As you can see, the nucleus is significantly smaller than the atom which is quite superb if you ask me. An atom is the smallest particle that can create a chemical composition.

Best of Luck!
