An atom has a diameter of 2.00 Å and the nucleus of that atom has a diameter of 9.50×10−5 Å . Determine the fraction of the volume of the atom that is taken up by the nucleus. Assume the atom and the nucleus are a sphere.



Answer :

fraction of the volume of the atom that is taken up by the nucleus is 1.07x10⁻¹³Å³

Sphere volume is calculated by formula =

V=4/3(πr³) , V is volume , r is radius
Radius = diameter/2

Radius of atom = 2/2=1

Radius of nucleus = (9.50x10⁻⁵)/2 = 4.75x10⁻⁵


now we may calculate the volume for the atom and the nucleus

atom volume = (4/3) × 3.14 × (1 )³ = 4.186 ų

nucleus volume = (4/3) × 3.14 × (4.75× 10⁻⁵)³ = 4.48 × 10⁻¹³Å³

now the fraction of volume of the atom that is taken up by the nucleus:

fraction = nucleus volume / atom volume 

fraction =4.48 × 10⁻¹³/4.186 = 1.07x10⁻¹³Å³
