Nucleus
- The nucleus is the small, dense region at the center of an atom.
- It contains most of the atom’s mass but very little of its volume.
Radius
Section titled “Radius”The radius of the nuclei is very small compared to the total size of the atom. It’s usually around 1/10,000th of the radius of the entire atom.
Charge
Section titled “Charge”- The nucleus is made up of protons (positively charged particles) and
neutrons (neutral particles).
- Because of this, the overall charge of the nucleus is positive.
