The fraction of volume occupied by the nucleus with respect to the total volume of an atom is

A

10–15

B

10–5

C

10–30

D

10–10

Answer

10–15

Explanation

Solution

Volume fraction =

=VolumeofnucleusTotalvol.ofatom=(4/3)π(1013)3(4/3)π(108)3=1015= \frac{Volumeofnucleus}{Totalvol.ofatom} = \frac{(4/3)\pi\left( 10^{- 13} \right)^{3}}{(4/3)\pi\left( 10^{- 8} \right)^{3}} = 10^{- 15}
