Question

Why is the density of nucleus more than that of the atom?

Answer 1

$\textbf{Hey there}$!!

$\textbf{Answer}$:


The size of the nucleus is the order of ${10}^{-14}$ m and it is made protons and neutrons only.


On the other hand, size of atom is the order of ${10}^{-10}$ m. Whereas, the size of atom increases by a large factor(${10}^4$ times as the nucleus), its mass increases only by a small amount (additional mass is the mass of orbital electrons only). For the reason, the density of the nucleus is very large as compared to that of the atom.
