The mass and volume of an electron cloud would depend 100% on knowing the mass and volume of an electron, or a proton/neutron. Obviously, I don't know, because I was asking a question on what the mass and volume of a proton/electron was.

If you have a Radium...by converting your nanometers to Radius...you can plug it in....

V= 4 (pie)*r^3/3

This is an example for a ordinary cloud droplet. The answer on top is different calculation and you will get a different answer.

And remember r = radius.

Example

4(3.14)*.025mm^3/3....your answer is....Volume=6.54498

The diameter of an atom as a whole is typically around 105 (100,000) times that of the nucleus (which is made up of protons and neutrons). This makes the volume of the atom 1015 (1,000,000,000,000,000) times the volume of the nucleus. It's something like a marble sitting in the middle of a football pitch.

Given that most of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus, this makes the nucleus very dense. In fact, if you could form a lump of nuclear matter (which protons and neutrons are made of) that is one cubic millimetre in size, it would have a mass of around 330,000 tonnes.

the volume of the cloud is πr²h, where r is the cloud radius and h the height :)

Most of the volume in an atom is occupied by the electron cloud. Most of the complex reactions of the atom occur in the cloud.


The probable location of an electron in an electron cloud is where?

The electron cloud is a volume of space around an atomic nucleus. It comprises of a space of probability. It is the volume of space where electrons can "probably" be found, or have a probability of being found.


Can clouds be compressed?

Technically they can be as most of their volume is gaseous. However you compress a cloud it will warm adiabatically, and with enough heating from compression the cloud will evaporate.

The volume of an atom is determined by the size of its?

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.

What is the region around the nucleus where electrons are found?

The electron cloud. An electron cloud is a volume or region in the atom where it is likely to find or detect an electron. It is actually really hard to detect an electron because an atom is mostly empty space, electrons are orbiting the nucleus at almost the speed of light so they orbit really fast, the electrons are very tiny and may be point like since we don't really know the volume or size of the electron, and an atom in reality is 3 dimensional which the electron cloud and orbitals is 3 dimensional. Since electrons are so hard to detect then they would call this volume or region of the atom an electron cloud because the electron cloud is a volume or region where they know that electrons are likely to be there even if they are hard to find. Or maybe the electron cloud is where they can also know the different sub- orbitals or subshells of the electrons.
