(II) $(a)$ What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus? (b) What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's volume that is occupied by the nucleus?
Added by Diana K.
Step 1
The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kg, and the mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kg. Therefore, the mass of the nucleus (proton) is 1.67 x 10^-27 kg. Show more…

What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass (¹H) that is in the nucleus? The mass of a proton is 1.007276 u, and the mass of the ¹H atom is 1.007825 u. Express your answer using four significant figures. What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's volume that is occupied by the nucleus? The Bohr radius is 0.529×10⁻¹⁰m. Express your answer using two significant figures.
