Answer:
[tex]4.99\times 10^{-10}\ m[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The diameter of a proton is 1.7 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters
The diameter of an atom is 5 x 10⁻¹⁰ meters.
We need to find the difference in the diameters.
[tex]D=5\cdot10^{-10}-1.7\cdot10^{-15}\\\\=4.99\times 10^{-10}\ m[/tex]
So, the difference in the diameter is [tex]4.99\times 10^{-10}\ m[/tex].
