If the size of a nucleus (in the range of 10^(-15)m"to"10^(-14)m) is scaled up to the tip ofa sharp pin , what roughly is the size of an atom ? Assume tip of the pin to be in the range 10^(-5) "to" 10^(-4)m.

The tip of a sharp pin I s <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/taken-659096" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TAKEN">TAKEN</a> to be in the range of `10^(-15)m "to" 10^(-4)m.` Thus <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/w-729065" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about W">W</a> are scaling up by a factor of `10^(-10)m`. An atom roughly of size `10^(-10)m` will be scaled up to a size of 1m .thus a nucleus in an atom is as small in size as the tip of a sharp pin placed at the centre of a sphere of radius about a metre <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/long-537592" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LONG">LONG</a>.</body></html>
