Atomic structure and ionising radiation

How does the size of a nucleus compare to the size of the whole atom?

A

The nucleus is large (about 10,000 times larger) compared to the atom.

B

The nucleus is tiny (about 10,000 times smaller) compared to the atom.

C

The nucleus is small (about 100 times smaller) compared to the atom.

D

The nucleus is similar (about the same size) compared to the atom.
