1. If a helium atom was the size of a full stop, then the average gerbil would be the size of the Earth. Atoms: very small

2. Now let’s pretend that the helium atom on the right is the size of the Earth. What’s wrong with this simple picture? Atoms: very small

3. The helium atom is not in the right proportions. The three subatomic particles are wrongly enormous in comparison to the atom’s radius. If it was the size of the Earth, then the nucleus would be about size of IVC (at the centre of the Earth). How big is a nucleus?
