Empty Space, but if we're talking in terms of the actual particles. Protons and Neutrons. Electrons count for almost none of the mass.
The electron is the part of the atom that accounts for electricity.
The great majority of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus, where protons and neutrons are located. The nucleus is incredibly dense and accounts for almost all of the atom's mass, while electrons, which are much smaller and lighter, contribute very little to the overall mass of the atom.
Yes. The nucleus accounts for a very small volume, yet it accounts for all the positive charge and nearly all the mass of an atom. An atom is mainly composed of empty space.
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 Nucleus. Which is inside the electron clouds.
The size of an atom is mainly determined by the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus. Electrons are constantly moving in an electron cloud, leading to a fuzzy boundary for the atom. The nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, contributes very little to the overall size of an atom.
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.
The nucleus of an atom represents most of an atom's mass.
No it does not. It accounts for almost all of the mass, not voloume
The nucleus of a helium atom is called an alpha particle. The electromagnetic waves emitted by a nucleus are called gamma rays.
Hydrogen is the lightest of all elements, having atoms that are only a fraction of the mass of all other elements. For example, an oxygen atom has about 16 times the mass of a hydrogen atom. So while a water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom (and water makes up most of the human body), the single oxygen atom accounts for most of the mass of the molecule.
Most of the volume of an atom is vacuum.
