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

1. 10^15
2. 10^1
3. 10^5
4. 10^10

Correct answer: 10^10

Solution

The volume of an atom is approximately 10^10 times greater than the volume of its nucleus, as the nucleus is extremely small compared to the overall size of the atom.
