Jan 30, 2021 at 13:51 comment added Hearth @my2cts I know that, I was talking about how it's way bigger than the electron cloud in terms of mass, which is what's more important in my field.
Jan 30, 2021 at 13:27 comment added my2cts @Hearth 'It's strange to think of a nucleus as smaller than an electron cloud' Not since Rutherford's experiment.
Jul 16, 2020 at 16:29 comment added Hearth Oh, I know. But in solid-state physics you focus on the mass rather than the volume, and the nucleus is vastly more massive than the electrons.
Jul 16, 2020 at 16:14 comment added Gert The nucleus is a mere speck, compared to the rest of the atom. See Rutherford's famous experiment.
Jul 16, 2020 at 16:00 comment added Hearth It's strange to think of a nucleus as smaller than an electron cloud, but I suppose I'm thinking more in terms of mass than physical volume. (comes from working with solid-state physics, I suppose!)
