Uncertainty Principle
What is the uncertainty speed of a hydrogen atom inside a virus? Even though the vaue of uncertainty in position is not given. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You might want to consider what the maximum uncertainity in position of the hydrogen atom is (hint: the atom is in in the virus)

so a virus is roughly 100 nm and a hydrogen atom is .1 nm, so would that make the uncertainty in position 10 nm? thanks for the help btw

How would you have arrived at 10nm?
