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 is about 100,000 times larger in diameter compared to just a proton. This is because a hydrogen atom consists of a proton at its center with an electron cloud surrounding it, extending the size of the atom.
What is the ratio of the diameter of a hydrogen atom to the diameter of a proton?
The diameter of a hydrogen atom is roughly 100,000 times larger than the diameter of a proton.
How much larger is the diameter of the entire atom compared to the diameter of its nucleus?
100,000 times.
Diameter of a gold atom?
The diameter of a gold atom is approximately 0.288 nanometers.
How does the diameter of the nucleus compare to the diameter of the atom?
The diameter of the nucleus is several orders of magnitude smaller than the diameter of the atom. The nucleus is approximately 10,000 times smaller than the overall size of the atom.
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 hydrogen atom compared to nucleus?
The diameter of a hydrogen atom is about 10,000 times larger than the diameter of its nucleus. This is because the nucleus is extremely small compared to the overall size of the atom, with electrons occupying the vast majority of the atom's volume.
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
How much bigger is the universe than a hydrogen atom?
The observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter, whereas a hydrogen atom is about 0.1 nanometers in size. This means the universe is roughly 9.3 trillion times larger than a hydrogen atom.
What is the diameter of a xenon atom?
The diameter of a xenon atom is approximately 0.216 nanometers.
