Radius of an atom (in m)

1×10101 \times 10^{-10} m

Radius of nucleus (in m)

1×10141 \times 10^{-14} m

Nucleus radius compared to atom radius

Less than 1/10,0001/10{,}000 of the atom's radius

Radius of a typical bacterium (in m)

1×1061 \times 10^{-6} m

Radius of a human hair (in m)

Relative mass reference for subatomic particles

Proton set to 11

Proton: relative mass & charge

Mass = 11, Charge = +1+1

Neutron: relative mass & charge

Mass = 11, Charge = 00

Electron: relative mass & charge

Mass = very small, Charge = 1-1

Where is nearly all the atom's mass concentrated?

In the nucleus

Proton & electron charge relationship

Equal and opposite
