Chemistry The iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons, 30 neutrons, and 26 electrons. The diameter of the atom is approximately 1.0 * 10 - 10 m, while the diameter of its nucleus is about 9.2 * 10 - 15 m. (You can reasonably model the nucleus as a uniform sphere of charge.) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field that the nucleus produces (a) just outside the surface of the nucleus and (b) at the distance of the outermost electron? (c) What would be the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the outermost electron due only to the nucleus, neglecting any force due to the other electrons? SSM
