The size of an atomic nucleus is of the order of metres.
Nuclear radius
The nucleus has approximately a constant density and therefore the nuclear radius R can be approximated by the following formula,
where,A = Atomic mass number [ # of protons (Z) plus # of neutrons (N) ] and = 1.25 fm = 1.25 m ( varies by .2 fm depending on the nuclei) . Literature: Krane, Kenneth S., Introductory Nuclear Physics, Wiley, 1987.

Nuclear binding energy — is the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom into its component parts. The component parts are neutrons and protons, which are collectively called nucleons. If the binding energy for the products is higher when light nuclei fuse, or when… … Wikipedia
