Question

Find the order of magnitude of the density of the nucleus of an atom. What does this result suggest concerning the structure of matter? Model a nucleus as protons and neutrons closely packed together. Each has mass $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{kg}$ and radius on the order of $10^{-15} \mathrm{m}$

Step 1

Given mass of a proton/neutron = $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$ Mass of nucleus = 2 (mass of proton/neutron) = $2 \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}$ Show more…
