Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The nucleus of an atom is about 10-15 m in size; this means it is about 10-5 (or 1/100,000) of the size of the whole atom. ... (10-15 m is typical for the smaller nuclei; larger ones go up to about 10 times that.) Mass. Although it is very small, the nucleus is massive compared to the rest of the atom.
