How many nuclei would have to be placed to fit the diametre of an atom?

The average nucleic diameter is about 9 fm (9 x 10^-15). The average atomic diameter is about .3 nm (.3 x 10^-9). Finding the volume of the atom and nucleus (as spheres), and dividing the former by the latter yields 3.7 x 10^13.
37,000,000,000,000 (37 trillion) average sized nuclei can fit in the diameter of an average sized atom.

What is the atomic radius of an atom that is chemically bonded to an identical atom equal to?
Half the distance between the two nuclei
Is a mixture of sub atomic particles and nuclei and electron?
You think probable to an atom.
What happens when the hydrogen nucleus hits the helium nucleus?
I'm guessing here, but I think you are asking about nuclear fusion. in that case, what happens when a hydrogen atom hits a helium atom? Not much. Fusion would require two hydrogen atoms. What would happen when two hydrogen nuclei hit together? If the pressure and temperature were high enough, the two hydrogen nuclei would fuse, creating an atom of helium, along with a high explosive force and an extremely high release of heat.
Forces that may cause the nuclei of an atom to break apart are?
Forces that may cause the nuclei of an atom to break apart include strong repulsive forces between protons due to their positive charges, insufficient binding energy to hold the nucleus together, and external collisions with high-energy particles. These forces can lead to nuclear fission, where a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei.
What would an atom become if it gained a proton?
That would depend what the atom was to begin with. Adding a proton would increase the atoms atomic number by one, making it an atom of the next element on the periodic table. It would also increase the atomic mass, however the over all atomic mass of the resulting mass would probably not be equal to the most common mass of the new element, making it an isotope of the new element. If it did not also gain an electron, it would now have one more proton than electron, making it a positive ion. Adding a proton to an atom is called nuclear fusion, since it fuses two atomic nuclei together (the original atom and the proton, which is equivalent to the nucleus of a hydrogen atom.)
What is the plasma state of water?
A plasma created from water would include electrons, protons (hydrogen atom nuclei), and oxygen atom nuclei (protons and neutrons). There is no specific name for this substance.
What is an atom that produces energy called?
Nuclei Atom
What particle determines the name of the atom?
nuclei
How you can differentiate an atom from its ion?
The ion will have a charge, so if placed in an electric field it would accelerate while the atom would not react to it.
What distinguishes an atom of one element from an atom of a differ?
The number of protons in the atomic nuclei.
Is Thallium the atom that has 81 protons in the nuclei?
Yes, it is.
What a nuclei?
Nuclei is the plural form of nucleus. A nucleus is the center of an atom that holds all the protons and neutrons.
What are the cores of the atom called?
nucleus or nuclei of there's a lot
Is the nuclei of atoms electrically positive?
The nucleus of an atom is positively charged.
What is the atomic radius of an atom that is chemically bonded to an identical atom equal to?
Half the distance between the two nuclei
When determining the size of an atom by measuring the bond radius the radius of an atom is?
One half the distance between nuclei.
What the total number of electrons in a neutral atom of fluorine?
Fluorine has the atomic number of 9. This means it has 9 protons in the nuclei of its atoms. So, a neutral fluorine atom would also have 9 electrons.
