Question

The rate of volume occupied by an atom to the volume of the nucleus is

• A. \( 10^{15} \)
• B. \( 10^{12} \)
• C. \( 10^{10} \)
• D. \( 1:10^{15} \)

Hint:

The volume occupied by an atom is much larger than that of the nucleus due to the vast amount of empty space in atoms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The volume occupied by an atom is much larger than the volume of the nucleus. The ratio of the two volumes is \( 1:10^{15} \), meaning the atomic volume is approximately 15 orders of magnitude greater than the nuclear volume.
