A scale model of an atom is being planned for a science centre.
The diameter of this atom is 20 000 times the diameter of its nucleus. In the model, the nucleus will be represented by a bead 3.0 mm across.
A designer says that the model atom should be 6.0 m across.
Evaluate the designer's statement.
101 exam-style questions on OCR GCSE Chemistry 1.2 Atomic structure, covering 1.2.1 Development of the atomic model, 1.2.2 The nuclear model and the size of atoms, and 1.2.3 Subatomic particles in atoms and ions. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
