Explain how the relative sizes of the nucleus of an atom can be compared to that of a stadium and a marble?
Because the size of an atom is about 100-500 nm, while the size of the nucleus is about 0.001 nm.
In other words, the nucleus is from to 10 000 to 50 000 times smaller than the atom in which it resides.
By analogy, the size of a marble of 1 cm can be compared to the size of a stadium of 100-500 m

What subatomic particle is not contained within the nucleus of an atom?
The electron is not located in the nucleus of an atom. Rather, they orbit around the outside of it.
What is the mass of the nucleus compared to the mass of the entire atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains nearly all of the atom's mass, while the electrons contribute very little to the overall mass. Therefore, the mass of the nucleus is much greater than the mass of the entire atom.
What best describes rutherford's model of the atom?
Rutherford's model of the atom proposed that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, surrounded by negatively charged electrons. This model suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus similar to planets orbiting the sun, but it could not explain the stability of atoms or the distribution of electron energies.
How is a animal cell like a baseball stadium?
Both a animal cell and a baseball stadium have specific structures and compartments that serve different functions. In an animal cell, organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria perform different roles much like how different areas of a baseball stadium, such as the field, locker rooms, and concession stands, serve different purposes. Additionally, both a cell and a stadium require coordination and communication among their components to function effectively.
Whichs particles makes up the atom?
very complicated in actuallity, but the simple answer is this: 1. protons and nuetrons make up the nucleus, an extraordinarily dense collection of these protons (positivie charge) and nuetrons (no charge). They may be individually refered to as hadrons and have internal structures made of quarks 2. The electrons which orbit the nucleus, usually in particular patterns depending which shell they are in (there are complications with s,p,d, f, and g orbitals, and these can even hybridize) they have a negative charge and balance the atom, and are so spaced out that a pea sized nuetron would have electrons everywhere in the size of a football stadium. not field, stadium. and that's if it was in the middle the nucleus is also so dense that a pea size one would way 250 million tons.
What is the relationship in size between the core and the cloud surrounding it?
The nucleus (I think you mean) can be compared to a grain of rice. The electron cloud to a soccer stadium.
If the orbit of the electron around an H nucleus were the perimeter of a football stadium how big would its nucleus be?
That depends on the size of the stadium to some extent, but if the proton (hydrogen nucleus) was 1 metre across, the hydrogen atom would be 100,000 metres across.
What subatomic particle is not contained within the nucleus of an atom?
The electron is not located in the nucleus of an atom. Rather, they orbit around the outside of it.
If the nucleus of an atom were the size of a marble then the atom itself would be the size of?
The atom itself would be the size of an NFL stadium.
Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
How big is the nucleus compared to the atom as a whole?
Not very big. The nucleus of an atom, the part containing protons and neutrons (1H, protium, consists of only a proton and an electron) takes up only a tiny portion of the atom's volume. The volume of an atom is really described by the movement of the electrons that orbit about the nucleus. Those electrons are a looooong way from the proton(s) relative to their size. A nucleus is about 10 FM in diameter. In a solid, nuclei are 1000000 or more FM apart. Hydrogen is small compared to other atoms. To scale it up: if the proton in its nucleus was enlarged to the size of a basketball, the electron would be some 20 miles away or so. With other atoms, the picture gets more crazy. The reality is that an atom is mostly space, and you've probably heard that. The nucleus of an atom is super tiny compared to the 95% boundary described by the outer electrons of an atom. The boundary can't be well-defined, really, because of what quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle, and Schroedinger's wave equation have to say.

How many people could the roman colessum hold compared to a stadium today?
The RomanColosseum can hold up to 50,000 people, while the average football stadium can hold 70,00 people.

Is the valence electron farthest or closest to the nucleus?
No. By definition, valence electrons are the furthest electrons from the nucleus in the atom. They are the electrons most easily removed from (or added to) the atom to create ions. A loophole to this answer might be to say that hydrogen and helium only have 1 and 2 electrons respectively so their valence electrons are close. That's a matter of perspective, as no electrons are really "close" to the nucleus to begin with. A typical comparison is to imagine a grape seed in the middle of a football stadium. The grape seed represents the nucleus, and an electron would be a speck of dust on the outside of the stadium.

What is Rutherfords model of the atom?
the nuclear model was its name. the theory behind this model is that 99.99% of the atom is empty space.the nucleus is what that is tiny and the most dense positive core.The nucleus contains protons. the nucleus is what weight the most in the atom
