Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
How does the size of an atomic nucleus compare with the size of the whole atom?
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).
If the nucleus of an atom were the size of a marble then the atom itself would be the size of?
The atom itself would be the size of an NFL stadium.

What is the size of an atom?
The size of an atom refers to the typical distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons.

What is about 10-5NM and found at the center of an atom?
nucleus is found at the centre of an atom. however the size of the nucleus is about 10-12 nm
What is the size of the Nucleus?
Assuming you're talking about the nucleus of an atom, the nucleus is very small relative to the atom's volume as a whole. However, it makes up nearly all of an atom's mass, because it contains all the protons and neutrons. So, relative to the total atom, the nucleus is very small and very dense.
Where is the most of an atom found?
The nucleus has most of the mass (weight) of an atom. The size of the atom, however, is related to its electron cloud (i.e. to the electrons that orbit around the nucleus)
Why the size of atom is biggest than nucleus?
Because there are electrons around the nucleus which form a cloud the nucleus is a part of this cloud roughly atom is 8000 times bigger than an average nucleus.
How does the size of the nucleus of an atom compare to the size of the electron cloud?
I need to know also
What is the relative size and and parts of a nucleus?
The atom's nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is relatively small and very dense at that.
