Why is density of a nucleus much more than the atomic density?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As size of the nucleus is `1/10^(4)` - times smaller than 104 the size of the atom. Nucleus consists almost entire mass of atom. Therefore, the density of the nucleus is greater than the atomic density.
