How many times greater is the diameter of an atom than the diameter of its nucleus?
Well it is not a fixed ratio, each element has its own diameter for the atom and nucleus depending on atomic number and atomic weight. but an idea can be given: for a certain elemnt the atom daimeter is 225 picometer and the nucleus diameter is 6 femtometer ,the ratio would be ( 225x 10^ - 12) /(6x 10^ - 15)= 37500.
Can you explain why the estimation of the diameter of an atom is greater or less than the known value?
Here's a guess... Without getting overly complicated.... The diameter of the atom isn't just the diameter of the atom's nucleus... it is the diameter of the whole atom including the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. As the name implies, an electron cloud represents all the possible locations that the electron could be. This cloud has thickness and therefore the atom could be smaller if the electron is in a portion of the cloud closer to the nucleus or larger is the electron is in a portion of the cloud farther from the nucleus. The "known value" is probably just the average of the two. Therefore, an atom's diameter has a range rather than a fixed value.
Ab oxygen atom measures 14 1000000000000 of a meter across write the width of the oxygen atom as a decimal?
0.000000000014
Can diameter be measured in feet?
Yes. Although if you are measuring the diameter of an atom, or a galaxy, you might consider other units to be far more suitable.
Does the diameter of any single atom lie between 1 and 2 cm?
No. Atoms are a little smaller than that. There are bigger ones and smaller ones. If you take a bunch of the biggest ones, you can fit something like 20,000,000 of those across 1 centimeter.
How much bigger is a hydrogen atom than a proton?
A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about 60 picometers while a proton has a diameter of 1.75 femotometers. So a hydrogen atom's diameter is about 35,000 times that of a proton.
How much larger is the diameter of the entire atom compared to the diameter of its nucleus?
100,000 times.
How many meters is an atom meter?
The nucleus of the atom has a diameter of about meter, whereas the atomic diameter is about meter. This means that the nucleus has a diameter 10,000 times smaller than the atom. The nucleus of the atom has a diameter of about meter, whereas the atomic diameter is about meter. This means that the nucleus has a diameter 10,000 times smaller than the atom.
Diameter of a gold atom?
Roughly 2.6 times 10^{-10} meters.
How much bigger is an atom compared to its nucleus?
The atom is about 10,000 times as big as the nucleus.
Emilio wants to build a scale model of an atom that is one million times the size of an average-size atom. About how big will Emilio and model be?
An atoms has a diameter of about 1x10^-10 meters to about 5x10^-10 meters. Using the larger number, and making it 1 million times bigger, you would have something with a diameter of5x10^-10 meters x 1x10^6 = 5x10^-4 meters, or put another way, the diameter would be about 0.5 mm
What percent of the atom is free space empty of mass?
If the atom's outer boundary is established by the "mean radius of the outermost electron orbital" or something like that, the atom is waaaaaaaaaaay over 99% free space. The hydrogen atom has a diameter over 100,000 times the diameter of the proton in it's nucleus.
Diameter of the center of the atom of hydrogen?
The atomic nucleus of hydrogen atom has a diameter of 1,75 femtometres.

Is the lithium atom bigger than the Cesium atom?
Not at all; the cesium atom is far bigger than the lithium atom.
Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
What is the atom with the smallest diameter?
A hydrogen atom has the smallest diameter because there is only one proton and neutron.
