The nucleus of an atom has a phenomenally high density! Consider the nucleus of Hydrogen, (a proton). This has a mass of approximately 1.67 x 10-27kg, and the radius of this nucleus is approximately 10-15 m. Therefore, on the assumption that the nucleus is spherical, the volume of the nucleus is given by the volume of a sphere; Volume = (4/3)(PI)r3 , Mass = 1.67 x 10-27 kg, Density = Mass/Volume Therefore Density = [1.67 x 10-27 kg]/[(4/3)(PI)r3] substituting in; PI = 3.1416, r = 10-15 m This yields; Density = 4 x 1017 kg m-3 !!!! This is almost equal to a million million million kg m-3 or a thousand million million tonnes m-3 !!!!
You practically answered your own question. It's not called an electron "cloud" for nothing. There is so much space in that cloud that it took many scientists many years (and lots of math) to realize that it even existed. Nuclei are much, much denser.
Since Density= Mass/volume.
Hence, higher the mass of the nucleus, higher is the density.
So elements which have more protons and neutrons in their nucleus, have more density than others.
The nucleus is very dense. If the nucleus of an atom were the size of the dot in an exclamation point, its mass would be approximately as much as that of 70 automobiles.
Yes because the atom as a whole would have electron clouds and electron clouds have an almost unmeasurable density where as the only dense part to the atom is the nucleus.
Yes it has a high density
No it is not negatively charged (it is positively charged) - (UNLESS it is an atom of antimatter).
it has a low density
Yes, it is true.
Yes
"higher energy"
The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".
the denser part of an atom is the nucleus. about 99% of the mass of an atom is concentrated within the atom.
Almost all of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus (a nucleon weighs about 2000 times more than an electron) and almost all of an atom is empty space; the nucleus is much smaller than an atom. And a gas also is composed almost entirely of empty space between the atoms or molecules. So the density of an oxygen nucleus is vastly greater than that of oxygen gas.
Nuetrons are found in the center of an atom which is called the nucleus.
It’s the most massive part of the atom
The density of the nucleus is 1000's times the density of the entire atom.
Even an electron excited to a higher than normal energy level remains sufficiently close to the nucleus of its atom that the atom as a whole remains neutral.
I believe the Nucleus of an Atom is positively charged with a very high density.
that is the nucleus. It is in the middle
Atoms can lose part of their nucleus, but they can't lose their whole nucleus.
A nucleus of an atom is at its center, it consists of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is roughly 10,000 times smaller than the whole atom.
The center of an atom is the nucleus containing protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons in the electron cloud, but the nucleus is roughly 10,000 times smaller than the whole atom. In theory, most of an atom is empty space.
"higher energy"
Sorry, don't understand your question. An atom is not in the nucleus, but an atom is composed of a nucleus and electrons surrounding it. What do you mean by metane? Please rethink question and resubmit
4.77*10^26 g/cm^3
Rutherford supposed that the atomic nucleus is very small compared to whole atom.
