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.
Empty Space! If a the head of a pin was representative of the nucleus of an atom, the electron cloud would start around 150 feet around it! That is, if everything were enlarged...
Empty space constitutes most of the volume of an atom.
Electron cloud (the area in which the electrons move)
The most volume in an atom is vacuum, empty space.
Can Anyone Answer This Question Please?? (I Want it right now.)
The electron cloud comprises most of the volume of an atom. The nucleus comprises most of the mass of an atom.
The electron "cloud"
electron clouds
Almost all of the volume of an atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.
The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.

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 is the most dense part of an atom.
An atom's electrons are distributed through most of its volume.
Almost all of the volume of an atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.
the nucleus of the atom
As an atom it is the whole atom. As a part it is the electron (which has no volume).
A great, great amount of empty space. I refer you to the link attached.
the nucleus
A quark is what makes up the nuetrons and protons of an atom. So yes, it could be counted as part of an atom.
The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.

He is best known for his new model of the atom. He performed the alpha scattering experiment and concluded that the nucleus is positively charged, very dense and makes up a very small part of the atom such that most of an atom is empty space.
