If you mean the nucleus of an atom, different atom have different masses - an uranium atom has more than 200 times the mass of a hydrogen-1 atom (and most of that mass is in the nucleus).

How does the volume of a nucleus compare to the volume of an atom?
the volume of atom is much greater than that of nucleus
The amount of space something occupies is called?
The answer is the VOLUME
How is the density different from mass and volume?
Mass is the amount of matter, volume is the amount of space, and density uses both, it is mass / volume.
What is anything that does has mass and volume?
matter is what has volume and mass also occupies space. It exists in three state namely: solid- has mass, volume and shape, Liquid- has volume and mass, and Gas- has volume and mass too.
Can different kinds of matter take up the same amount of space but have different masses?
Yes. The amount of space matter takes up is volume. Different substances have different densities, which are calculated by mass divided by volume most commonly in the unit g/cm^3 (grams per cubic centimeter). Mass depends on the nucleus/i of the substance, while volume depends on its nucleus/i as well as the electrical field formed by the repulsion of electrons.
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
What is the mass of the nucleus compared to the mass of the entire atom?
The difference between the mass of the nucleus and the mass of the atom is virtually negligible.The atom is mainly empty space! The radius of the atom is ~10 000 times the radius of the nucleus.That means that the volume of the atom:volume of the nucleus = 1000 000 000 000:1 or= 1012:1Think about the volume of a grain of sand to the volume of a football stadium if the stadium was a complete three dimensional sphere type structure.
Where is the great majority of the mass of the atom found?
Most of the mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.
Why the nucleus is very dense?
Because more than 99 % from the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus (protons + neutrons).
Does the nucleus account for almost all the volume of an atom?
No it does not. It accounts for almost all of the mass, not voloume
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".
Why is the density of the nuclear mass more than that of atomic mass?
because density is inversly proportional to the VOLUME.volume of nucleus is less than volume of atom.
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 part of the atom accounts for most volume?
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.
How does the volume of a nucleus compare to the volume of an atom?
the volume of atom is much greater than that of nucleus
What is the equation for mass volume and density?
Mass = Density x Volume Density = Mass/Volume Volume = Mass/Density
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.
