The radii of neclei and atoms are known ...

The radii of neclei and atoms are known to be of the order of `10^(-13)` cm and `10^(-8)` cm respectively assuming them to be spherical. The fraction of atomic volume occupied by the nucleus would be

A

`10^(-15)`

B

`10^(-17)`

C

`10^(-14)`

D

`10^(-16)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(Volume of nucleus)/(Volume of an atom)=fraction of atom`
Volume occupied by nucleus
`(4/3pi(10^(-13))^(3))/(4/3pi(10^(-8))^(3))=10^(-15)`
