  1. The most suitable unit for expressing nuclear radius is :
    1. nanometre
    2. fermi
    3. angstrom
    4. micron
Correct Option: C

The atomic radius is a measure of the size of an atom. It is defined as one-half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms that are bonded together. Angstrom is the most common unit used for measuring atomic radius. It is equivalent to 1.0 × 1010 meters. Under most definitions the radii of isolated neutral atoms range between 30 and 300 pm (trillionths of a metre), or between 0.3 and 3 angstroms.
