The nuclear radius as compared to the atomic radius, is of the order of

Options

A. `10^(-2)`
B. `10^(-15)`
C. `10^(-4)`
D. `10^(-8)`

Answer

c

Explanation

The nuclear radius is of the order of `10^(-14)` m while that of atom is of the order of `10^(-10)` m. Hence,
`("Nuclear radius")/("Atomic radius") = (10^(-14))/(10^(-10)) = 10^(-4)`
