Out of how many atoms a drop of water consists?
Water, in the chemical sense, is for the first no element,
but consists of the two elements hydrogen and oxygen. A hydrogen
atom
is with just one proton the lightest of all. However,
from the diameter, helium atoms are the smallest atoms.
Number of Atoms in a drop of Water:
One water molecule has a diameter of just 0.0000028 millimeter or
0.28 nm.
One gram of water consists of 3,455,000,000,000,000,000,000 water
molecules, respectively of 100,365,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.
That are over one hundred billions of trillions!
One drop of water weighs 0.4 gram and consists of
13,382,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules.
A vide-store as large as a
mall in just one water drop
If one could save data in a waterdrop and
one water molecule would be one Bit,
than one could save
2,676,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes in it,
respectively 2.43 billion Terabytes.
That conforms 75 million years of video
in a DVD-quality.
7 billion molecules per second
Cogitation-experiment:
since the year 0 there live 7 billion people
and sit around a waterdrop.
Everyone of them pecks sustained one
water molecule per second out of this drop.
The drop loses 7 billion of water molecules
per second since more than 2000 years!
There would be SO MUCH BILLIONS of
water molecules like the counter below
shows.
How Small Is An Atom?
Small. Very tiny small!
Which diameter does one atom have?
One atom does not have a specified
limit, because it consists of a nucleus,
which is revolved by electrons. This is
the so
called electronhull, which is recognized
by us as the atom. The mean mass of
the atom is concentrated in the
nucleus, which is in the center of the
atom.
It contains circa 99.9 percent of the
mass of the atom.
The nucleus has, according to the
element, a diameter of 1/100,000 to
1/10,000 of the diameter of an atom.
A piece of Cleopatra in everyone of us!
And this is not meant in the
figuratively sense.
Only the number of hydrogen-
atoms she consisted of, count
for a fictive bodyweight of 60
kilograms, was over 4 billion
billion billion.
As a number:
4,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. These circa
6 kilograms of hydrogen-atoms have mixed in the
last more than 2000 years especially in connection
with oxygen in form of water over all the oceans of
the world. Of course, over all continents, too.
It is similar with the carbon and all the other
elements, Cleopatra consisted of.
If one expects that there are 1400 cubic kilometers
of water on earth, one could count really easy how
many „Cleopatra-atoms“ are in one liter of water,
which comes out of the ocean.
4200000000000000000000000000 divided through
1400000000000000000000000 gives 3000
hydrogen-atoms per liter! Everyone one of us
consists, which quite a few guaranty, out of
thousands of atoms, which have been a part of
Cleopatra.
