If an atom is represented by the planet earth (R=6.4 x 10 to the power6) estimate the sixe of the nucleus

Open in App

Solution

The nucleus is about 10⁵times smaller than the atom.
So if the size of the atom is 12.8 $\times$ 10⁶ units then the size of the nucleus will be 12.8 $\times$ 10 = 128 units.
