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.

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.
What is prominent nucleus?
prominent nucleus means the nucleus which can be seen very easily through a microscope and is big in size . It is found in meristematic tissues in plant.
What is karyoplasmic index?
The karyoplasmic index recognizes the generalized relationship between nucleus size and cell size.
What is the size of the endoplasmic reticulum in micrometres?
Mitochondria are about 0.5-1.5 micrometres in width and 3-10 micrometres in length. I can't find an approximate size for the endoplasmic reticulum, but if you compare it to the nucleus, the RER+SER together surround the nucleus and are slightly larger than the nucleus when put together.
The maximum size of a cell is determined by the ratio between the cells what?
cytoplasm to nucleus
What is a reasonable estimate for the size of a cell nucleus?
What reasonable estimate for the size of a cell's nucleus?
How is knowledge about the size of the atomic nucleus is based on probability?
The size of a nucleus may be measured by firing sub-atomic particles at the nucleus and counting the proportion that bounce off the nucleus rather than miss it entirely. Assuming that the nucleus is spherical in shape, the ratio allows its size to be estimated.
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).
Is 0.006 the approxment size of a nucleus?
no
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.
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.
What is the size of an atomic nucleus?
Very small
Who discovered the size of the nucleus scattering?
Rutherford
An atomic neucleus has a diameter of aproxamiately?
Depends a carbon nucleus is 40 times the size of an hydrogen nucleus.
What helps DNA to fit in the nucleus?
its size and its coils
Which scientist deduced the size of the atomic nucleus?
Rutherford
A reasonable estimate for the size of a cell's nucleus is?
1.5um
