It is difficult to isolate a single atom to measure. It's too small!

The Definition of an Atom: "The smallest area of a factor that keeps the homes of that element". An atom contains a central 'Nucleus' made out of 'Protons' (useful debris) and 'Neutrons' (independent debris). 'Electrons' (adverse debris) sort a 'Cloud' that's spinning around (orbiting) the nucleus and contains various orbiting 'power tiers' based on the variety of Electrons in the atom. Hydrogen inspite of the undeniable fact that, the lightest of the climate, does not have a Neutron it rather is general as 'Protium' because of the fact it contains a single Proton in the nucleus and a single electron in orbit. (There are 2 Isotopes of Hydrogen...'Deuterium' which has a million neutron with the proton and, Tritium having 2 neutrons.

because an atom conatins an electron whose distance from the atom is described as a probability and not a fixed distance, there is no absolute outer edge to the atom.
Thus d.
