Estimating the size of a molecule using oil. It would be wonderful if you could measure the size of a single atom, but atoms are so small that it cannot be done directly. Yet you can find the size of a molecule in a roundabout way and from that calculate the size of an atom. Lord Rayleigh (English physicist, 1842 to 1919.
Atomic radius. Diagram of a helium atom, showing the electron probability density as shades of gray. The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons. Since the boundary is not a well-defined physical entity, there are various non-equivalent definitions of atomic radius.
