What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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 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.
What is the Diameter of a helium atom in meters?
The diameter of a helium atom is approximately 0.1 nanometers, or 1 angstrom. In meters, this translates to about 1 × 10^-10 meters. Helium atoms are among the smallest atoms, with their size largely determined by the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
Is it true or false that chloride ions are chlorine atoms that have lost a single electron?
False. A chloride ion is a chlorine atom that has gaineda single electron.
Which is a reasonable estimate for the radius of an atom?
The diameter of an atom varies between 62 and 520 pm, depending on on the specific type of atom.
Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, atomic mass and atomic diameter are not the same thing. Atomic mass refers to the mass of an atom, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, while atomic diameter refers to the size of the atom, often measured as the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms.
Is water a single or double bond?
Water is a molecule with a single bond between the oxygen and each hydrogen atom. Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with the oxygen atom through a covalent bond.
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.
What is the diameter of a xenon atom?
The diameter of a xenon atom is approximately 0.216 nanometers.
The diameter of an atom is 5 angstroms express this diameter in centimeters?
The diameter of an atom is 5 x 10^-8 centimeters.
What is the diameter of a phosphorus atom in picometers?
The diameter of a phosphorus atom is approximately 100 picometers.
What is the atom with the smallest diameter?
A hydrogen atom has the smallest diameter because there is only one proton and neutron.
Does ammonia contain a single bond?
Yes, ammonia contains a single covalent bond between each hydrogen atom and the central nitrogen atom in its molecular structure.
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.
When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?
False. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged, not positively charged. This is because electrons are negatively charged particles.
