Someone wanted to build a scale model of the atom with a nucleus 1.4 m in diameter.
How far away would the nearest electron need to be in meters? Assume the orbital radius of an electron is 10^(-10)m, while the radius of the nucleus is 10^(-15) m.
ra=?
From far away a proton is fired directly toward the center of the nucleus of a
mercury atom. Mercury is element number 80, and the diameter of the nucleus is
14.0 fm. Assume the mercury nucleus is fully-ionized, with no electrons bound to it.
If the proton is fired at a speed of 3.8×107 m/s, what is its
closest approach to the surface of the nucleus? Assume the
nucleus remains at rest.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A hypothetical atom has only two atomic energy levels, separated by 3.2 eV. Suppose that at a certain altitude in the atmosphere of a star there are 6.1 * 1013/cm3 of these atoms in the higher-energy state and 2.5 * 1015/cm3 in the lower-energy state. What is the temperature of the star’s atmosphere at that altitude?
