It can be determined by the size of it's electron. The reason for this being is because of the mass that is calculated by the protons to the neutrons of the atoms within the nucleus.

∙ 13y agoYes Partially, electrons are all the same size the volume is effected by how much area the electrons take up when they spin around the nucleus.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe volume of an atom is determined by the size of its electron cloud. Most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus.

∙ 16y agoI believe the "electron cloud" I have a BS in chemistry =P
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt is called the electron cloud, this "cloud" holds all the electrons. Electrons are symbolized as the negative - sign. And protrons are symbolized as the positive + sign.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe more electrons in a atom, the bigger it's electron cloud, therefore making the atom bigger

According to the Bohr theory the size of the atom is determined by what?
Atomic size is determined by measuring the distance between nuclei of adjacent atoms. Contrary to popular belief, it is not measured by the radius of an individual atom.
The bonding properties of an atom are determined by what?
The stability of an atom is determined by the:
What part of the atom occupies all the volume?
Almost all of the volume of an atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.
Are atom properties determined by the size of the valence electrons?
Valence electrons are very important for the chemical properties of chemical elements; but all electrons have identical sizes.
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.
The volume of an atom is determined by the size of?
By the size of the atom and its mass
The physical size of an atom is largely determined by?
The physical size of an atom is largely determined by the size of the electron cloud.
How does the size of an atomic nucleus compare with the size of the whole atom?
Think of the sun as the nucleus and the oort cloud (past pluto) as where the electron orbitals start. The size (volume) of the nucleus is tiny compared to the size (volume) of the atom (defined by the extent of the electron cloud).
According to the Bohr theory the size of the atom is determined by what?
Atomic size is determined by measuring the distance between nuclei of adjacent atoms. Contrary to popular belief, it is not measured by the radius of an individual atom.
The stability of an atom is determined by the what?
The stability of an atom is determined by the:
Size of an atom?
Size and volume of an atom are not fixed and accurately calculated due to non-uniform boundary of atom. However, it's radius is calculated to be around 10-10 m.
Does an atom have volume?
a atom does have volume
How is mass and volume determined in density?
Mass and volume are not determined by density. Rather density is determined by mass and volume
Compare a very large and a small atom in the large atom the outermost electron is farther away from the nucleus?
yes, if by larger you mean size/volume.
What describes the size of an atom?
The size of an isolated atom cannot be determined simply because scientists can't locate electrons outside of the nucleus. In addition to this, the size can be estimated by taking half the distance of adjacent atoms (in a solid)
How does the volume of a nucleus to the volume of an atom?
the volume of atom is much greater than that of 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".
