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.
Nothing. An atom is primarily empty space. If the nucleus of a hydrogen atom was a football, the atom itself would be the size of a football stadium, with nothing else inside but the football. There are three things that make up the volume of atoms. The three things that make up the volume of atoms are protons, electrons and neutrons.
The electrons in the atom.
Most of the mass is in the nucleus; most of the volume is in the electron "cloud".

how much of an atoms volume does the nucleus make up
An electron weighs about 1/1836 of a proton, so as far as an atom is concerned, all the mass is in the nucleus, with the protons and neutrons. But the electrons are rotating in their orbits a long way (in proton size terms) from the nucleus. So most of the volume of an atom is empty space.
