No. The proportion volume taken up by the protons in an atom is incredibly small. The vast majority of the volume of an atom is empty space.

What make up most of the volume of an atom.?

Most of the volume of an atom is vacuum.

What is the proportion of volume of proton to the volume of hydrogen atom?

The diameter of proton is 1*10 raised to the minus power of 15 meter. The diameter of hydrogen atom is 1* 10 raised to the power of minus 10 meter. The formula for volume of spere is 4/3*22/7*r raised to 3. From this you get that volume of the hydrogen atom is approximately 4,000,000,000,000,000 times more than that of proton. That means most of the atom is empty space.


If there is no neutron or proton what is the most massive part of an atom?

the anti-proton


True or false the mass of a proton is about one atomic mass unit?

False - an electron is about 1/1836 the mass of a proton.

An electron weighs about 1/1836 of a proton, so as far as an atom is concerned, all the mass is in the nucleus, with the protons and neutrons. But the electrons are rotating in their orbits a long way (in proton size terms) from the nucleus. So most of the volume of an atom is empty space.

What makes up most of the volume of an atom.?

Empty space makes up most of the volume of an atom. The nucleus (protons and neutrons) make up most of the mass.


Which two particles make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom?

The proton and the neutron make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom.


What is the Volume of an atom is occupied by the?

Most of the volume in an atom is occupied by the electron cloud. Most of the complex reactions of the atom occur in the cloud.


Where is most of the mass of an atom contain?

in the nucleus of an atom -proton and neutrons , electrons in the orbit has the negligible mass.


Because a hydrogen atom does not contain a neutron hydrogen ions can be thought of as what?

a Proton. A hydrogen-1 atom (the most abundant isotope of hydrogen) has no neutrons and only 1 proton. So the atom is 1 proton and 1 electron. So the ion, when the electron is removed, the entire ion is just 1 single proton.


What particles have the most mass?

In the atom the heaviest particle is the neutron but the proton is close.
