The structure of an atom is well known to me as something like this:

But what is the accurate structure of the **Nucleus** ? What is the arrangement of the *Protons* and the *Neutrons* or any of the other nucleons? I will be glad if anybody give an image of its structure.


Thanks!

These dimensions are much smaller than the diameter of the atom itself (nucleus + electron cloud), by a factor of about 23,000 (uranium) to about 145,000 (hydrogen)
