Answer:

1/100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

its radius is only about 1/100,000 of the total radius of the atom. if an atom were the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be about the size of a pea! Electrons have virtually no mass, but protons and neutrons have a lot of mass for their size. As a result, the nucleus has virtually all the mass of an atom.
