The diameter of the hydrogen atom nucleus is about 10^-15 m, so if you want to make it 5 mm in your scale model, you would need to scale up by a factor of about 10^13. Therefore, the diameter of the entire model would be 5 mm * 10^13, which is 5 x 10^10 m.
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.
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.
The diameter of an atom typically ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers, depending on the element.
in the nucleus.
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.
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.
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.
The diameter of the nucleus of a hydrogen atom is approximately 1 femtometer (10^-15 meters). However, since the electron cloud extends much further beyond the nucleus, the overall diameter of a hydrogen atom is on the order of 100 picometers (10^-10 meters).
100,000 times.
The atom is far too small to ever be examined directly. The diameter of a typical nucleus is only about 1/100,000 of the diameter of the entire atom and if an atom were magnified until it was as large as a football stadium, the nucleus would be about the size of a grape. Nearly all evidence of an atom's structure has been theorized.

The average nucleic diameter is about 9 fm (9 x 10^-15). The average atomic diameter is about .3 nm (.3 x 10^-9). Finding the volume of the atom and nucleus (as spheres), and dividing the former by the latter yields 3.7 x 10^13. 37,000,000,000,000 (37 trillion) average sized nuclei can fit in the diameter of an average sized atom.
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.
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.
Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus in an atom, the electrons are in shells or orbits around that nucleus at quite a distance (relatively to the nucleus diameter)
