by applying Heisenberg's uncertainity principle
if we assume the electron to be inside the nucleus and calculate its velocity inside the nucleus it comes out to b more than the vel of light which is not possible. so it cannot exist inside the nucleus
 
we calc the vel of electron in the foll way:
as e- is assumed inside the nucleus delta x = 10-15m
the product delta x. delta v = h/(4. pi. m)
therefore delta v = h/(4. pi. m. delta x)
subs the values of h, pi, m and delta x to get the ans as 5.8 x 1010m/s
