could someone please leed me in the right direction for calculating an atoms atomic mass given the diameter of its nucleus? thanks
If you assume that the density of nuclei are about the same and equal to the density of a proton, then all you have to know is the diameter of a proton [itex]_1^1H[/itex]prolong199 said:could someone please leed me in the right direction for calculating an atoms atomic mass given the diameter of its nucleus? thanks
What is the ratio of volume of the larger nucleus to that of the proton? If each nucleon (a proton or neutron) has the same volume, what does that tell you about the number of nucleons in the larger nucleus?prolong199 said:i found that the diameter of a proton is 1x10^(-15)m with atomic mass 1, but how do i calculate the atomic mass of an atom with diameter 8x10^(-15)m?
The average diameter of a nucleus in nuclear physics is approximately 10^-15 meters.
The diameter of the nucleus does not significantly affect its stability. The stability of a nucleus depends on its composition and the forces between its constituent particles.
Yes, there is a direct relationship between the diameter of the nucleus and its mass. As the mass of a nucleus increases, so does its diameter.
No, the diameter of a nucleus cannot be measured directly. Since it is on the atomic scale, it can only be estimated through various indirect methods.
The diameter of a nucleus is much smaller than the diameter of an atom. The nucleus makes up only a very small fraction of the total volume of an atom.
