Question
If The nucleus of a uranium atom has a diameter of $1.5 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{m}$ and a mass of $4.0 \times 10^{-25} \mathrm{kg} .$ What is the density of the nucleus?
Step 1
The volume of a sphere is given by the formula $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$, where $r$ is the radius of the sphere. However, we are given the diameter of the nucleus, so we need to divide it by 2 to get the radius. Show more…

What is the density of the material in the nucleus of the hydrogen atom? The nucleus can be considered to be a sphere of radius $1.2$ $\times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$ and its mass is $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg} .$ The volume of a sphere is $(4 / 3) \pi r^{3}$.
The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a single proton, which has a radius of about $1.0 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{m}$ . The single electron in a hydrogen atom normally orbits the nucleus at a distance of $5.3 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{m} .$ What is the ratio of the density of the hydrogen nucleus to the density of the complete hydrogen atom?
