In a simplified model, both an atom and its nucleus are treated as spheres. If a typical atom has a radius of the order of 10−10 m10^{-10}\text{ m}10−10 m and its nucleus has a radius of the order of 10−15 m10^{-15}\text{ m}10−15 m, what is the typical order of magnitude of the fraction of the atom's volume that is occupied by its nucleus?

10−510^{-5}10−5

10−1010^{-10}10−10

10−1510^{-15}10−15
