Another fact he stated was the scale of the atom, I don’t remember exactly, but say you scaled up an atom to be a mile in size, the nucleus would still only be the size of a grain of sand – – – note the empty space of nothing. However I did a quick google recently and what I found said a marble in a football pitch.
It depends on the atom, because more massive elements have larger nucleii, but the ratio is in the ballpark of 1:50,000.
So, if the nucleus was 1 cm in diameter, the electron cloud would be 50,000 cm, or 500 meters. So, if the atom was one mile in diameter, the nucleus would be roughly an inch or two in diameter, depending on the specific element.
