Please try to find a mathematical equation, not an experiment needing factories!

Can't you look online? Wouldn't that be a more accurate answer?

In that case, you'd want to look at the wavefunctions for the valence electrons, to get a glimpise at how far out the electrons are in the atom.

Read this. The size of an e- is 1/10^15m.

Just look up the atomic radii. You can find it on some periodic tables and then square it and mulitply by pi to find the area.

by its weight!, okay if still not satisfied, take one iron atome, drop in a empy glass fill it with water record it, now empy contents , now fill ir again with out atom in it...wa-la. the differacne between the 2 will give you its volume

well there's the bohr radius, but that only works for H atoms so other than that look in the CRC or google for it
