Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter that make up everyday objects. A desk, the air, even you are made up of atoms. Adoms are in matter (matter is EVERYTHING).
Answer:
The space occupied by any atom is essentially empty, neither the proton or the electron takes up a lot of room. An electron has a diameter of 1 × 10-13 cm, about 1/1000 of the diameter of a proton. Photographs of atoms show a measurable shape but this is mostly the probability cloud where the electron might be. The protons take up about 1/100,000th of this volume
Electrons, protons and neutrons are composed of sub atomic particles.

Which atoms are in lipids?
They are mostly just hydrocarbons - chains of Carbon with Hydrogen atoms hanging off the sides and ends.
What statement does not describe the current model of the atom?
atoms are mostly empty space
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about atoms?
that the atom mostly consisted of empty space.
What does molecule make up?
Solids, liquids, gases - all matter - are made up of atoms (or other things, like molecules, that are made from atoms)! ELEMENTS are the kinds of atoms that we can have. Carbon is an element, hydrogen is an element, and so is oxygen.
Why is it impossible to slide solid objects through each other given that atoms are mostly empty space?
The electromagnetic field surrounding each atom repels all other atoms.
The body is made of?
The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space
What are carbon and oxygen atoms made up of?
These atoms are made of mostly molecules
what did Rutherford conclude about the location of positive charge in atoms?
Ernest Rutherford mostly believed in that it was mostly empty space with positively charged atoms.
Transfer of thermal energy through atoms contacting other atoms?
Not likely. Atoms are mostly empty space.
What is living matter is mostly made of?
Atoms
What kinds of atoms are lipidsmostly made of?
Carbon and hydrogen atoms mostly make up lipids.
What kinds of atoms are lipids mostly made of?
Carbon and Hydrogen
What discovery demostrated that atoms are mostly empty space?
bohr
Which atoms are in lipids?
They are mostly just hydrocarbons - chains of Carbon with Hydrogen atoms hanging off the sides and ends.
What chemical activity takes place within the sun?
mostly fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms
Who discovered that atoms were mostly empty space?
Rutherford, with his gold foil experiment.
What are made mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Lipids (wax, fats and oils)
