Vedclass · Answer

(A) The radius of the nucleus is approximately $10^{-15} \ m$.The radius of an atom is approximately $10^{-10} \ m$.Assuming both are spherical,the ratio of their volumes is given by:$\frac{V_{	ext{nucleus}}}{V_{	ext{atom}}} = \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi (r_{	ext{nucleus}})^3}{\frac{4}{3} \pi (r_{	ext{atom}})^3} = \left( \frac{10^{-15} \ m}{10^{-10} \ m} ight)^3 = (10^{-5})^3 = 10^{-15}$.Therefore,the volume of the nucleus is about $10^{-15}$ times the volume of the atom.

The volume occupied by the nucleus is about $ . . . . . . $ times the volume of an atom.
