Most of the volume of the copper ion is in the space between its nucleus and electrons. In fact, this is true for all atoms. Compared to the size of the electron cloud, the nucleus is exceedingly small.

As we know the atoms are constructed by electrons ,protons and neutrons,Neutrons and protons occur in central part of atoms named as nucleus.And electrons revolve around the nucleus with negative charge .Outer shell of atoms are totally coverd by electron so most of the part of atoms are contained by electrons ,

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.

Does a proton make up the most volume of an atom?

No. The proportion volume taken up by the protons in an atom is incredibly small. The vast majority of the volume of an atom is empty space.


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

An atom is made of protons and neutrons which make up the nucleus and electrons that are around the nucleus. Although almost all the mass of an atom is in the nucleus, most of the space that the atom takes up is occupied by the electrons. 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.

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.
