SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the ratio of atomic volume to nuclear volume using the formula for the volume of a sphere, V = 4/3(pi)r^3. The average radius of an atom is given as 1.0 x 10^-8 cm, while the average radius of the nucleus is 1.0 x 10^-13 cm. Participants confirm that the ratio is determined by dividing the atomic volume by the nuclear volume, leading to a clear understanding of the calculation process.
