distance of an electron from its nucleus

Post by bbgall55 »

If, proportionately, the distance of an electron from its nucleus is double the distance of Pluto from the sun and we are composed of atoms, are we then not actually gossamer beings, with more empty space than 'solid'?

Hi bbgall55,

Is your question related to a science fair project? This forum is intended for students, parents, and teachers working on K-12 science projects. If you are looking for help with homework or general science discussions there are other sites that should be able to answer you question.
