Someone wanted to build a scale model of the Hydrogen atom with a grape to represent the nucleus ( diameter of grape = 2.18cm). The diameter of the Hydrogen nucleus is about 1.75 x 10-¹5m, and the diameter of the Hydrogen atom is about 2.54 x 10¹0 m. What is the distance from the center of the grape to the 'model' electron? Distance to model electron is FYI: We can not have a "scale size electron", because no finite size has been detected for the electrin. All accepted attempts to measure its size have produced an apper limit (maximum possible size) that is consistent with zero size.
