Question

State a value for the typical size (diameter) of a gold nucleus.

Answer 1

approximately 10^-14 m?

Answer 2

Gold, atomic weight 197 and atomic number 79, has a nuclear radius of 7.3x10^-15 m and
an atomic radius of 1.3x10^-10 m

Answer 3

OK. Gigan1 is saying 10^-14m and tujjwal is saying the atomix radius is1.3x10^-10m i am looking for the size (diameter) not the radius!

Answer 4

How do you relate diameter with radius?

Answer 5

Its measured just the same a straight line throught the centre of the sphere

Answer 6

Is diameter:
a)equal to radius
b)twice of radius
c)thrice of radius
d)four times of radius

Answer 7

C) Thrice of radius

Answer 8

I now think you asked about question just for fun.. Isn't it?

Answer 9

Yes only joking its equal to twice the radius

Answer 10

Are you sure?

Answer 11

Yes i am sure!

Answer 12

No, it's not.. think again..

Answer 13

You once gave the correct answer and deleted it..

Answer 14

Yes but in mathematics it is equal to twice the radius!

Answer 15

And when its not mathematics?

Answer 16

this is physics..

Answer 17

The diameter is equal to two times the radius

Answer 18

So, what would be the diameter of Gold nucleus?

Answer 19

Do you know: \(\Large r=r_o\; \sqrt[3]{A}\) ?

Answer 20

That relation would drive him crazy @Vincent-Lyon.Fr ..

Answer 21

I am sure he doesn't know what A is...

Answer 22

I have never used that equation before!

Answer 23

exactly..

Answer 24

So you cannot solve this problem.

Answer 25

@ujjwal: I love your sense of humour!

Answer 26

Thanks @Vincent-Lyon.Fr
And tell me @DarrelFletcher, why do you need diameter of gold nucleus?

Answer 27

I asked the question not you ok!

Answer 28

Did you finally calculate the diameter of gold foil?

Answer 29

Gold nucleus!

Answer 30

yeah, Rutherfod's on my brain.. lol

Answer 31

*rutherford*

Answer 32

The Gold nucleus and the Gold Foil are completely different do you actually know what you are talking about?

Answer 33

Do you know Rutherford?

Answer 34

Yes i know rutherford this experiment took place 8 miles from where i live you don't know rutherford if you are getting confused between the gold foil and a gold nucleus!
All i asked for was a typical value not a lecture.

Answer 35

If i remember it correctly, that experiment took place at my place...

Answer 36

Rutherford was a great friend.. We basked in the same sun..

Answer 37

I'm wasting my time with you. Goodbye i will post the question again later when someone will be a bit more forthcoming!

Answer 38

Wait, did you calculate the diameter of gold nucleus?
