The diameter of an atom is between .1 and .5 nanometers. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The diameter of atoms varies depending on the element.

What is the wave length of an ultraviolet wave?

The wavelength of an ultraviolet wave typically ranges from about 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers. This places ultraviolet waves just outside the visible light spectrum, which generally ranges from 400 to 700 nanometers.


What is the wavelength range of visible light?

400 (violet) to 700 (dark red) nanometers is the standard range stated in most sources.


What is the wavelength of visible lights?

The longest wavelengths visible to the average human being are in the range of ~700 nanometers which appears to be red to the human eye. However, I am capable of perceiving the red light that my 2 Logitech cordless laser mice emit at 848 nanometers. I hope I am not damaging my eyesight, but I don't believe the emission spectrum for such a laser would be very wide, so I would bet that 800-820 nm is still in the visible range, at least for younger people. I am 22 years old. the longest wavelengths of visible are red colored


What would the size of an atom be described in?

The size of an atom is typically described in terms of its atomic radius, which is the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron cloud. This radius is usually on the order of 0.1 nanometers (1 Ångstrom) for most atoms.


How many atoms are there in an apple?

An average apple contains approximately 100 billion atoms. This number can vary depending on the size and type of the apple, but it's generally in the range of 10^24 atoms. Most of these atoms are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are the primary components of organic matter.

What is the difference between ionic and covalent and atomic radii?

Ionic Radii:The distance from the center of the nucleus and the outer most shell (valence shell) of an ion.Covalent Radii:It is one half of the distance between two same nucleur atoms. In hetro nucleur di atomic atoms it is equal to the sum of the two atomic radii.Atomic Radii:The distance from the center of the nucleus and the outer most (valence) shell of an atom.
