Students have asked these similar questions
In the planetary model of the atom where electrons orbit a centralized nucleus, what is the approximate ratio of the radius of the nucleus to that of the electron orbits?
The nucleus of a certain atom has a radius of 4.0 × 10^-15 m. An electron orbits the nucleus at a radius of 1.5 × 10^-10 m. Imagine the electron orbit is on the surface of a sphere and that the shape of the nucleus is spherical. Approximately how many nuclei would fit into the sphere on which the electron orbits?
Someone wanted to build a scale model of the atom with a nucleus 1.4 m in diameter.  How far away would the nearest electron need to be in meters? Assume the orbital radius of an electron is 10^(-10)m, while the radius of the nucleus is 10^(-15) m.  ra=?
