So, um, you three consider and ate him? Uh, it's a plant model. We have, uh, was it to the charge nucleus, Uh, inside and Adam. And there is an electron or electrons, um, rotating your own, you know, close. And, uh, the nuclear size is so look, layer, he's around 10 minus 15 um, meters and a tonic size is 10 minus 10 meters. Well, and now we know if if we build a morning off these any time, uh, in the size of the new clothes, he's one meter. So why we wanted me turn what would be the eight home excites what would be the distance between the nucleus and the nearest electron? All right, that means what would be the red use off? Eight, Because a Tommy just and Justin electrons and no clues. So And we can see here that eight atomic size ese, uh, 100,000 times bigger than nuclear size. So it would be 100. That wasn't meters. So if in the model nuclear site size ese one meter, uh, and I ate, um, Size should be hun. 100,000 meters. So 110 was missing Kate. Her other cells. So this is the answer
