Interpretation:
The number of times the diameter of an atom is greater than the diameter of its nucleus needs to be determined. The density of the nucleus, knowing that most of an
Concept introduction:
The diameter of an atom is always bigger than its nucleus, as the surrounding electrons rotates and revolves at a distance from the nucleus in different shells.
The density of an object depends on its mass.
Answer to Problem 97A
The diameter of an atom is over
The density of an atom is all because of its nucleus, electrons contributing negligibly in it.
Explanation of Solution
A nucleus diameter is in the range of
The atomic diameter is about
Hence, the diameter of an atom is over 10, 000 times the diameter of its nucleus.
The density of the nucleus
The diameter of an atom is over 10, 000 times the diameter of its nucleus and the density of an atom is contributed by its nucleus alone.
