How many atoms thick is a piece of paper?
The answer depends on the density of the atomRemember there are 113 (112 discovered) atoms on the periodic tableFor example, take aluminumIt would be about 50,000 of those atoms to be equal the thickness of a sheet of aluminum foilSo roughly 125,000 would be the thickness of printing paper.Gold, however, would only be 10,000 atoms to achieve the same thickness of the foil the chewing gum is wrapped around withSo an approximate would be 30,000 atoms to match the thickness of printing paperHope you found this helpful! And remember, do some of your own research too.
