The diameter of a proton is of the order of magnitude of
A
10-12m
B
10-15m
C
10-18m
D
10-21m
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The size of a proton is of the order of 1015 m and the size of the visible universe is of the order of 1026 m. From this information, you can conclude that: A. The size of the universe is 41 orders of magnitude greater than that of the proton.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inside a nucleus are neutrons and protons, which occupy a space about 100, 000 times smaller than the whole atom. In the pond example, a proton would measure about 1/50th inch (0.5 millimeters) in diameter-about the size of a pinpoint.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer : 10-6 nm. Q. One fermi is equal to 10−15 metre. The radius of a proton is 1.3 fermi.

Detailed explanation-4: -6.4.2 Atomic sizes and substance densities Hydrogen has a diameter of 1Å.
