yes.
The distance between the Nucleus and an electron cloud varies from atom to atom (element to element).
think of a basket ball as the nucleus.
The 1st electron cloud could be as far as 1-5 km away.
A lot of empty space

Did Dalton's Atomic Theory state that matter is mostly empty space?
yes it was Dalton's Theory
What form of energy that holds atomic nuclei together called?
The strong force holds atomic nuclei together.
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.
Are atomic nuclei very dense?
No .
Unstable atomic nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei causing a mineral to be?
radioactive
Are gold atoms composed of mostly matter or empty space?
All atoms are mostly empty space, as the electromagnetic repulsion between atomic nuclei keep them from reaching each other (except under extreme pressure, as in the center of stars).
What determines the amount of energy an electrons has?
distance from the atomic nuclei
Is atomic nuclei required in a chemical reaction?
No, atomic nuclei is not required for a chemical reaction.
Did Dalton's Atomic Theory state that matter is mostly empty space?
yes it was Dalton's Theory
Are there neutrons in a white dwarf?
Yes. A white dwarf is made mostly of electron degenerate matter, which consists of atomic nuclei surrounded by free electrons. The nuclei contain protons and neutrons.
What the combining of atomic nuclei is?
The combination of two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus is called fusion.
What form of energy that holds atomic nuclei together called?
The strong force holds atomic nuclei together.
How has basic knowledge about atomic nuclei been used in technology?
Knowledge about atomic nuclei has been used to produce energy.
Which of these is a particle in atomic nuclei?
Neutron

Atomic bomb energy is released by?
Fission and/or fusion of atomic nuclei.
