Most of the volume of an atom is occupied by the space required for what?

In very simple terms, the electrons are in orbits around the nucleus so most of the volume of the atom is empty space within the volume that the electrons occupy. The behaviour of the electrons is often assumed to be orbits but their actual positions are not that simple.
As a final note, all atoms contain neutrons with the exception of hydrogen which can exist as one proton and one electron.

around that is the electrons, but there is more empty space than protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus has the most mass.

Is most of the volume occupied by a piece of copper is taken up by the volume of the copper nuclei?
true
True Or False most of an atom's volume is the space in which electrons move?
True, most of an atom's volume is the space in which electrons move.
Is most of the space occupied by a thin gold film taken up by the nuclei?
No. Ernest Rutherford's experiments showed that the majority of the thin gold film is made up of empty space.
Why can we state that most of the volume of matter such as the tabletop you are writing on is actually empty space?
Because the space between atomic particles, atoms and molecules is empty.
What is the phase volume ratio for stable emulsion?
ø in an emulsion the relative volume of water and oil is expressed as phase volume ratio. ø in general most medicinal emulsion are prepared with a volume ratio of 50:50. ø this proportion brings about loose packing of globules. ø uniform spherical globules in loose packing have a porosity of 48% of the bulk volume. ø the remaining volume 52% is occupied by the globules.
Is Most of the volume occupied by a piece of copper is taken up by the copper nuclei true or false?
False, most of the volume of any substance is empty space, the nuclei take up very little space.
What is the Volume of an atom is occupied by the?
Most of the volume in an atom is occupied by the electron cloud. Most of the complex reactions of the atom occur in the cloud.
Is most of the volume occupied by a piece of copper is taken up by the volume of the copper nuclei?
true
What word is most an atom occupied by nearly massless electrons?
empty space
Most of the space occupied by a thin gold film is taken up by the nuclei?
false
Is liquid wax or solid wax more dense?
As in most substances, solid wax is more dense than liquid wax. Density, by definition, is mass divided by volume. If the volume is smaller, meaning less space occupied, than the density increases. In a solid, the temperature lowers, the molecules have less energy and are less active. Therefore, they take up less space, equalling a smaller volume. Small volume, more density.
What makes up the most the volume of atoms?
Empty space.
Is most of an atom's volume is filled with matter?
No, it is filled with space.
True Or False most of an atom's volume is the space in which electrons move?
True, most of an atom's volume is the space in which electrons move.
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
Is most of the cell volume of adipose tissue occupied by the nucleus?
no. Only 1/6 th of the place is taken by the nucleas.
What makes up most of the volume of an atom.?
Empty space makes up most of the volume of an atom. The nucleus (protons and neutrons) make up most of the mass.
