The nucleus of an atom can be modeled as several protons and neutrons closely packed together. Each particle has a mass of1.67?10-27kg and radius on the order of 10-15m.
(a) Use this model and the data provided to estimate the density of the nucleus of an atom.
(b) Compare your result with the density of a material such as iron (ρ = 7874 kg/m3). What do your result and comparison suggest about the structure of matter?
