Do you realize how small an atom is? Take a look at these numbers:
*A single drop of water contains about 3 x 10^21 water molecules (3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!) *One aluminum foil atom has a diameter of about 0.00000003 cm. A piece of aluminum foil is about 200,000 atoms thick! *Within an atom, a proton or neutron has 2,000 times more mass than an electron. *If you were to model the size and space within an atom, the nucleus would be the size of a BB. The electrons would each be the size of a grain of sand. Each grain of sand, or electron, would be at least 25 meters from the nucleus. |
