Question

Suppose you built a scale-model atom the size of Earth, how big would its nucleus be? Suppose you built a scale-model atom the size of Earth, how big would its nucleus be? the size of a movie theater the size of a person the size of a city the size of a stadium

Answer 1

Size of a Stadium

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the nucleus of an atom is around
`(1)/(100000)th` of the size of the atom. If the model of the atom is equal to Earth the size of the nucleus will be
`(1)/(100000)th` of the size of the Earth.

Radius of Earth = 6378 km = 6378000 meter

Radius (R) of nucleus will be,

`R = (1)/(100000) * Radius_(Earth)`

`R = (1)/(100000) * 6378000`

`R = 63.78 m`

Thus, it will be equal to the size of a stadium.
