Profit is producer surplus, minus fixed costs. In other words, its price minus variable costs. Profit, however, is price minus total cost. Since fixed cost is never negative, profit will always be less.
The atom is about 10-10 meters (or 10-8 centimeters) in size. This means a row of 108 (or 100,000,000) atoms would stretch a centimeter, about the size of your fingernail. Atoms of different elements are different sizes, but 10-10 m can be thought of as a rough value for any atom.
The distance across an atomic nucleus of average size is roughly 10 â14 metreâonly 1 / 10,000 the diameter of the atom. The nucleus, in turn, is made up of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons, collectively referred to as nucleons, and a single nucleon has a diameter of about 10 â15 metreâthat is, about 1 / 10 that of the nucleus and 1 / 100,000 that of the atom.
