The volume occupied by an atom is greater than the volume of the nucleus by a factor of about:

The volume occupied by an atom is greater than the volume of the nucleus by a factor of about:
  1. $10^1$
  2. $10^5$
  3. $10^{10}$
  4. $10^{15}$

Solution

$\frac{\text { Volume of atom }}{\text { Volume of nucleus }} =\frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(10^{-10}\right)^3}{\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(10^{-15}\right)^3}=10^{15}$
