The radius of an atom extends to the outer edge of the what?

The radius of an atom extends to the outer edge of its electron cloud, which is the region where electrons are most likely to be found in. The electron cloud represents the volume of space where electrons can exist around the nucleus of an atom.

What is the outer edge of a celestial body called?

The solar system isn't like a sidewalk, where the curb marks a distinct edge. There are a number of plausible candidates for the "edge" of the solar system.One would be the orbit of the outermost planet, Neptune. Or should Pluto be included? Or perhaps one of the other minor planets even further out, such as Eris or Makemake?Maybe the Kuiper Belt marks the "edge" of the solar system. You might suggest the Oort Cloud, the source of many long-period comets, as the "edge".Many scientists believe that the true edge of the solar system is the point at which the solar wind from the Sun fades into the general background of interstellar gas; this is called the "heliopause".


The leading edge of an advancing strom system?

The leading edge of an advancing storm system is called the "squall line." It typically marks the boundary between the advancing storm and the clear air ahead of it. This area can experience strong winds, sudden changes in temperature, and intense rainfall.


What is an atomic radius?

Atomic radius is the measure from the middle of an atom to the outter edge. Usually mesured between two atom. Measure from the middle of one atom to the middle of another and then divide by two.
