Answer

6.717 x $10^{-13}$ %

Work Step by Step

The volume of a sphere is $\frac{4\pi{r^{3}}}{3}$ In the hydrogen nucleus, there is only one proton, so the nucleus radius will be equal with the proton radius => V $\approx$ 4.1888 $fm^{3}$ $V_{atom}$ = 623614.5193 $pm^{3}$ 1 pm = 1000 fm => 1 $pm^{3}$ = $10^{9} fm^{3}$ $V_{atom}$ = 623614.5193 * $10^{9} fm^{3}$ $V_{nucleus}$ = 4.1888 $fm^{3}$ $\frac{p}{100}$ * $V_{atom}$ = $V_{nucleus}$ p = $\frac{V_{nucleus}*100}{V_{atom}}$ p = $\frac{4.1888 fm^{3}*100}{623614.5193 * 10^{9} fm^{3}}$ p = 6.717 x $10^{-13}$ %
