Question 5

Assuming that almost all of an atom's mass is concentrated within its nucleus, and that the radius of a typical atom is approximately 105 10^5\,105 times larger than the radius of its nucleus, what is the order of magnitude of the ratio of the density of the nucleus to the average density of the atom?

A

10510^5105

B

101010^{10}1010

C

10−1510^{-15}10−15

D

101510^{15}1015
