Question

How many orders of magnitude greater is the radius of the atom as compared to that of the nucleus?

Answer 1

Hii dear,

# Answer- 10^5

# Explaination-
Usually, radius of atom is of an order of 10^−10 and radius of nucleus is of an order of 10^−15.

Radius of atom/Radius of nucleus
= (10^−10)/(10^−15)
= 10^5

Radius of atom = 10^5 × Radius of nucleus.

Hence, we can say that radius of atom is 10^5 times greater than the radius of nucleus.

Hope this is useful..

Answer 2

Explanation:

The radius of a nucleus is in the order of 10^¹⁴m

The radius of an atom is in the order of 10^¹⁰m

so,R atom/R nucleus=10^¹⁰m/10^¹⁴

Thus the order of radius of atom is 4 orders greater than the radius of nucleus.
