What makes the nucleus massive?

Because more than 99 % from the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus (protons + neutrons).


Which part of the atom contains more than 99 percent of its mass?

The protons and neutrons found in the nucleus are responsible for the majority of the atom mass while the much smaller electrons orbit the nucleus.


Is 99 percent of the world empty?

Yes!Although no one can define "emptiness", it is true that 99% of the world is empty!Atoms are the building blocks of the material world or what scientists like to call "matter". Every single object is composed of atoms. There are many different types of atoms. In fact, there are over 90. These different types are called elements.An individual atom is very small. The diameter of an atom ranges from about 0.1 to 0.5 nanometer (one billionth of a meter). Although very small, atoms are composed of even smaller particles. In the center of the atom is a structure called nucleus. The nucleus is a congregation of particles, these particles are called protons and neutrons and swirling around the nucleus are the electrons. There are even smaller particles moving around in atoms. These super-small particles can be found inside the protons and neutrons. They are called nucleons and quarks. These particles are made up of energy waves.And the most amazing thing is that atoms are 99.9% empty space. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with a very small contribution from the orbiting electrons.What it means to me is that we are creating our own reality and that the solidity of things is just an illusion created by the mind with the complicity of atoms. I say this because everything is made up of atoms that are 99.9% empty and the stuff that makes up atoms is energy. Matter only appears solid because of the electrical charges of the atoms that repel one another. Your mind through your thoughts is creating everything. How? Your thoughts can be measured as electrical signals, this electrical signals travel through the ether and affects the atoms.


What minerals is 99 percent of the Earth's crust made of?

SiO2 makes up around 50% of the crust in the form of many types of minerals like jasper, flint, chalcedony, opal, quartz.... There is no one mineral that makes up 99% of the earths crust


What does the 99 mean in Butyric Acid 99 percent?

This means that the purity is 99%, 99 parts out of 100 are butyric acid.
