STANDARD Physics Atomic and Nuclear Sizes MCQ Question with Solution

The volume occupied by an atom is greater than the volume of the nucleus by a factor of about

A

10¹

B

10⁵

C

10¹⁰

D

10¹⁵

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The volume of an atom is approximately $\frac{4}{3}\pi(10^{-10})^3$ and the volume of the nucleus is $\frac{4}{3}\pi(10^{-15})^3$ . The ratio of these volumes is $10^{15}$ .
