Yes, the distance of the electrons from the nucleus is approximately relative to the distance from the center of a football field to the edges. In between is empty space.
Mainly empty space, with a very small and dense nucleus at the center containing the majority of the atom's mass.
The volume of an atom is mainly empty space because the nucleus, where most of the mass is concentrated, is extremely small compared to the overall size of the atom. The electrons are located in regions around the nucleus where the probability of finding them is high, but these regions are also mostly empty space. This can be shown through experiments like scattering experiments and other particle interaction studies that reveal the distribution of mass and charge within atoms.
True, most of an atom's volume is the space in which electrons move.
Almost all of the volume of an atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.
most of an atoms volume is nothing, think of the atom as a football stadium, a football in the centre is the neucleus, electrons would be the size of peas in the very back row, the rest is empty space. on top of that the neclues is made of protons and neutrons, which spaces between, these necleons are made of quarks which also have empty space between them, the quarks are made of neons which again have spaces between. Many physicists believes this continues in this fashion.
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
The mass and volumes of electrons are not significant compared to the volume of an atom.
The nuclear model of the atom suggests that an atom is mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus at the center. The volume of an atom is therefore primarily occupied by this empty space, with the nucleus accounting for a very small portion of the total volume.
No, a proton is a subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom. The majority of the volume of an atom is made up of the empty space surrounding the nucleus, where the electrons are found.
Mainly empty space, with a very small and dense nucleus at the center containing the majority of the atom's mass.
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.
It is the empty space between the nucleus and the electron shells.
Nearly all the mass is in the nucleus; however, the bulk of an atom's volume is empty space.
An atom is made up of protons and neutrons in a nucleus surrounded by electrons in orbital shells. The majority of the volume however, is empty space.
Empty space makes up most of the volume of an atom. The nucleus (protons and neutrons) make up most of the mass.
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.
Protons believe me
