The radius of a nucleus has quite a range completely dependent on the element or isotope under consideration. naturally, an element like uranium 235 (with 235 neutrons and 92 protons) will have a larger nucleus than hydrogen 0 (1 proton 0 neutrons). the range of these radii values however is normally somewhere of magnitude 10^-15 meters.

The atomic radius to the distance from the nucleus of an atom to?

The atomic radius refers to the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost electron orbital. It is a measure of the size of an atom. The atomic radius generally increases as you move down a group in the periodic table and decreases as you move from left to right across a period.


What is the atomic radius?

The atomic radii is an estimation of the radius of an atom. The value of the atomic radii is based off an approximation of the distance from the atom's nucleus to the edge of the atom's electron cloud.


What is atomic center and atomic radius?

Atomic center is the center of the atom, also called as Nucleus. Atomic Radius is the distance between the center of the nucleus and outermost shell of the atom. It is nearly about 1.2 * 10-10 m.


Is smaller than the atomic radius of oxygen?

Yes, the atomic radius of oxygen is larger than the size of an atom. The atomic radius represents the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell of an atom.


What is used to represent the size of an atom using the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron orbit?

The size of an atom is typically represented by its atomic radius, which is the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron orbit. This distance is often measured in picometers (pm).


Diameter of hydrogen atom compared to nucleus?

The diameter of a hydrogen atom is about 10,000 times larger than the diameter of its nucleus. This is because the nucleus is extremely small compared to the overall size of the atom, with electrons occupying the vast majority of the atom's volume.


Which has lower ionization energy an atom with a small radius or an atom with a large radius?

An atom with a larger radius typically has lower ionization energy. This is because in larger atoms, the outermost electrons are farther from the nucleus and experience weaker attraction, making it easier to remove them compared to smaller atoms where the electrons are closer to the nucleus and held more tightly.


Can give you some explanation about the structure of the atom esspecially about it's radius?

The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell of an atom. Atoms consist of a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons in specific energy levels or shells. The size of the atomic radius increases as you move down a group in the periodic table due to the addition of electron shells, and decreases as you move across a period due to increasing nuclear charge.


Does magnesium have a smaller radius than helium?

Atoms do not have a radius. A helium atom has a nucleus composed of at least two protons and maybe one or two neutrons. A magnesium atom nucleus (and every other atom on the periodic table other than hydrogen) is BIGGER than a helium nucleus. So if you look at it that way...magnesium is larger than helium


Where the protons neutrons and electrons are in an atom?

In an atom- the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus(aproximately centre) which makes the middle positively charged. The electrons are around the nucleus. The electrons are attracted to the nucleus because the nucleus is positively charged.
