Why is it not possible to see an atom with naked eyes?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is not possible to see an atom with naked eye because of its extremely small size. For example, the radius of an atom of hydrogen is of the order of `10^(-10)m`. Actually an atom is regarded as a microscopic particle. These microscopic particles cannot be seen with naked eye.
