It can be determined by the size of it's electron. The reason for this being is because of the mass that is calculated by the protons to the neutrons of the atoms within the nucleus.
Yes Partially, electrons are all the same size the volume is effected by how much area the electrons take up when they spin around the nucleus.
The volume of an atom is determined by the size of its electron cloud. Most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus.
I believe the "electron cloud" I have a BS in chemistry =P
It is called the electron cloud, this "cloud" holds all the electrons. Electrons are symbolized as the negative - sign. And protrons are symbolized as the positive + sign.
The more electrons in a atom, the bigger it's electron cloud, therefore making the atom bigger
Cloud/Electron Cloud
the size if its electron cloud
No.
Atomic size is determined by measuring the distance between nuclei of adjacent atoms. Contrary to popular belief, it is not measured by the radius of an individual atom.
The stability of an atom is determined by the:
Almost all of the volume of an atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.
Valence electrons are very important for the chemical properties of chemical elements; but all electrons have identical sizes.
The atom itself would be the size of an NFL stadium.
By the size of the atom and its mass
The physical size of an atom is largely determined by the size of the electron cloud.
Think of the sun as the nucleus and the oort cloud (past pluto) as where the electron orbitals start. The size (volume) of the nucleus is tiny compared to the size (volume) of the atom (defined by the extent of the electron cloud).
Atomic size is determined by measuring the distance between nuclei of adjacent atoms. Contrary to popular belief, it is not measured by the radius of an individual atom.
Size and volume of an atom are not fixed and accurately calculated due to non-uniform boundary of atom. However, it's radius is calculated to be around 10-10 m.
The stability of an atom is determined by the:
a atom does have volume
Mass and volume are not determined by density. Rather density is determined by mass and volume
yes, if by larger you mean size/volume.
The size of an isolated atom cannot be determined simply because scientists can't locate electrons outside of the nucleus. In addition to this, the size can be estimated by taking half the distance of adjacent atoms (in a solid)
the volume of atom is much greater than that of nucleus
Most of the mass is in the nucleus; most of the volume is in the electron "cloud".
