> Atoms exist on extremely tiny scales, just 1 ångström across...

I may be misinterpreting, but it sounds like he's saying all atoms are 1 ångström in diameter.

[saagarjha]

That sounds within one or two orders of magnitude?

[thayne]

just one order of magnitude actually

[saagarjha]

One on each side, I guess.

That's not a terrible place to start. "Under most definitions the radii of isolated neutral atoms range between 30 and 300 pm (trillionths of a meter), or between 0.3 and 3 ångströms."
