There's a lot of space, comparatively, in an atom.
Oh my gosh, what a question!! That's for children?! How the heck could they even begin to work that out...

This will only be a rough estimate:

7*10^27 atoms per person. Each has a nucleus with radius of order 5*10^-15 metres (should be about the right average), so that each nucleus takes up a volume of about 4*(5*10^-15)^3 =6*10^-43 cubic metres (volume of a sphere, taking pi=3 ). Therefore one human's 7*10^27 atoms would take up about 4*10^-15 cubic metres, and all seven billion of then would take up 7*10^9*4*10^-15 = about 3*10^-5 cubic metres, which google tells me is 30 millilitres. Which is about ...

two tablespoons!!

it's a science quiz for kids to win an ipad mini

Well there you are, I've just provided an answer that is about 30 millilitres, which is about (but not exactly) the same size as a sugar lump.

Has anyone proof of this? Is it a white or brown sugar lump?
