What is mostly between electrons?
Empty Space.
Does the amount of protons an element has affect chemical bonding?
Yes and no; the number of protons determine the valance number of electrons. The valence level of electrons and how full/empty it is largely determines an elements chemical behavior. I would say that valence electrons are the main determinant, but that is predetermined by protons.
Fast moving electrons travel through the empty space surrounding the nucleus How are electrons held within the atom?
The atom's nucleus and electrons are held together by electromagnetic force. The positive charges of the protons balance the negative charges of the electrons.
What is the majority of an atom mafe of?
The central nucleus and the almost empty space around it containing electrons
Do atomic nuclei have mostly empty spaces?
Yes, an atom is mostly empty space. That said, the space is also "occupied" space because the electrons swirl around the atom's nucleus in orbit. So although the space is not always in use, it is in use quite frequently.
What is found in between electrons and the protons?
The space is empty, total vacuum.
True or false Most of an atom is empty space?
True. The protons and neutrons together are dense and comprise most of the mass of the atom. The electrons "circle" around in a "cloud" so there is empty space in between the electrons.
What is mostly between electrons?
Empty Space.
What is between electrons and the nucleus?
There is electron charge (and mass) everywhere inside the atom. It is not empty space.There is electronic charge density in the entire volume of an atom. The electrons are said to orbit the nucleus, but that is a short hand description of reality. Reality is described by quantum mechanics and the representation of the location of the electrons is more like a diffuse cloud throughout the atom.Empty space. Nothing.Nothing. Empty space.Nothing between the electrons and the nucleus is nothing99.9% of that space has no matter in it

How do you know that atom is mostly empty space?
The electrons are repelled by the protons, which causes then to be farther away. If the nucleus was the size of a marble, then the atom would be the size of a football stadium. Correction: Electrons are not repelled by the protons but are attracted to them. Opposite charges attract.

The diameter of an atom is?
in the bottom Atomic nucleus is at the center of the atom.
Is nothing really nothing?
im not sure abt that, but what i do know is that basically any physical thing is actually most empty space. if u think of what an atom is made up of [(protons and neutrons in the nucleus) and electrons] the space between the nucleus and the electrons is much MUCH larger than the actual size of the electrons and nucleus. and so since everything is made up of atoms, everythin is basically just empty space
What takes up most of the volume of an atom?
An atom is composed of a central nucleus containing a varying number of protons and neutrons, and electrons, which orbit the nucleus in shells. The majority of an atoms volume comes from the space between the central nucleus and the surrounding electrons.
What accounts for most of the atom?
Empty Space, but if we're talking in terms of the actual particles. Protons and Neutrons. Electrons count for almost none of the mass.
What is the majority of an atom mafe of?
The central nucleus and the almost empty space around it containing electrons
