What else can I help you with?
What is negatively charged that occupy most of the volume of the atom?
The electrons.
Which particles contribute to most of the atoms volume and size?
The volume and size of an atom are primarily determined by the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. Electrons contribute most to the volume and size of an atom, as they occupy the space around the nucleus and form the electron cloud. The nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, is much smaller in comparison to the electron cloud and contributes very little to the overall size of the atom.
What part of the atom accounts for most volume?
the nucleus ^^to whoever wrote this answer.. you are stupid. the nucleus is where most of the MASS is contained. so the correct answer is that the volume is found around the nucleus NOT the nucleus... to the above who said he was stupid, you are stupid.
Is the most of the volume of an atom empty space or nucleus?
Most of the atom is empty space (between the electron orbitals and the nucleus itself). If your talking about nucleus vs. electrons then the nucleus is larger in volume and mass
What is most of the atom by volume?
By volume, atoms consist mainly of nothing. Zip, zero, empty space. An atom is much like our solar system, with tiny planets (like electrons) orbiting above a dense core. In between, much like in our solar system, is nothing but empty space.
Which area of the atom composes most of its volume?
the nucleus
What is most of the volume of an atom taken up by?
Most of the volume of an atom is taken up by the electron cloud, which consists of electrons moving around the nucleus. The nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, is extremely small compared to the overall size of the atom.
Is the electron cloud the most massive part of the atom?
No, it is not. Almost all of the mass of an atom is located in the nucleus. The proton, that carrier of the positive electrical charge, is some 1836 times more massive that the negatively charged electron that it attracts to "build" an atom. If we take a look, we'll find that in a simple hydrogen-1 atom, a single proton is in the nucleus and a lone electron makes up the electron cloud. And the nucleus is about 1836 times more massive than the "rest" of the atom. In a helium-4 atom, two protons and two neutrons form the nucleus and a pair of electrons form the electron cloud. In this case, the nucleus is about 7,444 times as massive as the electrons. As we move up the periodic table, the figure gets even more lopsided.
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.
What nucleus (protons and neutrons) make up most of the mass (weight) of the atom and occupy a small amount of space whereas the electrons weigh almost nothing but occupy a large amount of space?
A single electron has an infinitesimal volume; do not confuse with the electron cloud.
Most of the volume of an atom is taken it up by the and most of the mass of an atom is found in the?
Most of the volume of an atom is taken up by the electron cloud, which surrounds the nucleus and is formed by the movement of electrons. In contrast, most of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. This concentration of mass in the nucleus is due to the significantly greater mass of these subatomic particles compared to electrons.
Most of the volume of an atom is occupied by the space required for what?
An atom is made of protons and neutrons which make up the nucleus and electrons that are around the nucleus. Although almost all the mass of an atom is in the nucleus, most of the space that the atom takes up is occupied by the electrons. In very simple terms, the electrons are in orbits around the nucleus so most of the volume of the atom is empty space within the volume that the electrons occupy. The behaviour of the electrons is often assumed to be orbits but their actual positions are not that simple.As a final note, all atoms contain neutrons with the exception of hydrogen which can exist as one proton and one electron.
