Does heat move only where atoms and molecules are?

No. There is empty space between the sun and earth, but radiant heat gets through that empty region.


What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about atoms?

How is it possible for atoms to be composed of mostly empty space?

Think of it as the planets being the electrons: Earth, Venus, Mars etc.... and the Sun being the nucleus. The size of the Sun and planets relative to the empty space in the solar system is small. It's the same kind of idea with atoms.

What is between the helium atoms in a helium balloon?

When you look at atoms at that small of a level, between them you actually have empty space- nothing at all like in space. Even between the nucleus and its electrons of an atom itself there is a lot of empty space.


Why can we state that most of the volume of matter such as the tabletop you are writing on is actually empty space?

Are gold atoms composed of mostly matter or empty space?

All atoms are mostly empty space, as the electromagnetic repulsion between atomic nuclei keep them from reaching each other (except under extreme pressure, as in the center of stars).


Who discovered that electrons move in empty space in an atom?

It was Ernest Rutherford who discovered that atoms are mostly composed of empty space with electrons orbiting a very dense nucleus.
