About 99.9% of the mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus of an atom. Electrons around the atom have really small mass in relation to the protons and neutrons therefore their masses are negligible. Therefore except for the nucleus, most space of an atom is just vacuum.

What was the main discovery of Rutherford's gold foil experiment?
He realized that an atom is mostly made of empty space.
The reason a granite block is mostly empty space is that the atoms in the granite are?
Yes, this is essentially true. Well over 99.9% of the mass of any atom is in the nucleus. The electrons in their orbitals around that nucleus actually determine the spacial volume that the atom occupies. And on an atomic scale, the distance from the nucleus to the outer boundaries of the electron cloud is enormous. The atom is mostly empty space, and, therefore, anything made up of atoms is mostly empty space.
