Question

The order of radius of the nucleus of an atom is

• A. \(10^{-15}\) m
• B. \(10^{-17}\) m
• C. \(10^{-12}\) m
• D. \(10^{-10}\) m

Hint:

The radius of an atomic nucleus is around \(10^{-15}\) meters, much smaller than the overall size of the atom.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The typical size of an atomic nucleus is on the order of \(10^{-15}\) to \(10^{-17}\) meters. This is much smaller than the size of the atom itself.
