nucleus?
and 1-5 A correspondingly, what fraction of the volume of the atom is taken up by the
ing

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.95 [tex]\times 10^{-9}[/tex] is the fraction of the nucleus is present in atom.

Explanation:

Given:

The diameter of the nucleus - 10A

The diameter of atom - 1.5 A

From this, we can find the radius of nucleus and atom i.e.

For nucleus [tex]=\frac{10}{2}[/tex]

For atom [tex]= \frac{1.5}{2}[/tex]

Now, the fraction of nucleus [tex]= \frac{volume of nucleus}{volume of atom}[/tex]

                                               = [tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi (\frac{10}{2})\frac{3.14}{2}\pi (\frac{10}{2})^3[/tex]

  or,                                         = [tex](\frac{10}{1.5})^3[/tex]

                                               = 2.95 [tex]\times 10^{-9}[/tex]

Therefore, 2.95 [tex]\times 10^{-9}[/tex] is the fraction of nucleus in the atom.
