In a technical sense, the diameter of an atom doesn't really exist; we can draw an arbitrary line and say that the electrons in the atom are 90% (or 95%, or 99.999%, or whatever) likely to be found inside this boundary, but it doesn't really have a sharply defined diameter.
That said, Scanning Tunnelling Microscopes can measure the approximate diameters of individual atoms, and they aren't even that expensive as scientific instrumentation goes.

What is the earths atomic mass?
Since the Earth is not a single atom, nor a collection of similar atoms, it does not have an atomic mass. Atomic mass is a measure of how much matter is contained by a specific atom.
Is helium atom a single atom species?
Elements are not species. Helium is an element. Helium can be a single atom.
Can a compound be a single atom of gold?
A compound can contain a single atom of gold, but a single atom of gold alone, by itself, cannot be a compound.
What scientist said the atom has a nucleus?
Rutherford
Scientist who discovered structure of atom?
Rutherford.
Can compound have a molecule with a single atom?
No, a single atom is an element. Combinations of single atoms form compounds.
