Where is the great majority of the mass of the atom found?
Most of the mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.
What makes up most of the size of an atom?
Most of the mass is in the nucleus; most of the volume is in the electron "cloud".
Which part of an atom make up most of the size?
The electron cloud that contains the electrons outside the nucleus takes up the most space of the atom.
What is the size of a proton in a beryllium atom?
The same size as it is in a Helium atom
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
The part of the atom that accounts for electricity is the?
The electron is the part of the atom that accounts for electricity.
Which particle is most responsible for the size of an atom?
the electron
Where is the great majority of the mass of the atom found?
Most of the mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.
Where is the most of an atom found?
The nucleus has most of the mass (weight) of an atom. The size of the atom, however, is related to its electron cloud (i.e. to the electrons that orbit around the nucleus)
Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
What makes up most of the size of an atom?
Most of the mass is in the nucleus; most of the volume is in the electron "cloud".
Does the nucleus accounts for only a small amount of the total volume 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.
Which part of an atom make up most of the size?
The electron cloud that contains the electrons outside the nucleus takes up the most space of the atom.
What these takes up the most space in an atom?
The thing that takes up the most space of an atom at about 99.99% of the size of the atom is empty space. The majority of the remaining 0.01% is found in the nucleus and about 0.00001% of the atom is taken by the electrons.
The volume of an atom is determined by the size of?
By the size of the atom and its mass
If the nucleus of an atom were the size of a marble then the atom itself would be the size of?
The atom itself would be the size of an NFL stadium.
What is the size of a proton in a beryllium atom?
The same size as it is in a Helium atom
