Question

How does the radius of the electron compare to the radius of the nucleus

Answer 1

football in a football ground....

Answer 2

The electron doesn't have a radius, it's not really spherical.

Answer 3

You can give it an approximate 'radius' that describes how it scatters of off other particles in a non-quantum mechanical model. In that case it's about the same size as a smaller atomic nucleus.

Answer 4

100 times larger?
50 times smaller?
50,000 times larger?
or
100,000 times larger?

Answer 5

They probably mean the electron probability distribution around the nucleus of an atom, not the electron as a free particle. In that case it's much bigger, approximately 50,000 times bigger.

Answer 6
