Technically, the term particle here is incorrect. The distinction must be made between particle (the things that make up elements and compounds) and sub-atomic particles. (the things that make up elements)
In an atom, the sub-atomic particle occupying the most space is the nucleus, containing protons and almost always, neutrons.
The rest of it is empty space, save for the orbiting electrons, which are quite tiny in comparison to the nucleus.

What part of the atom is the heaviest has the most mass?
Nucleus
What fills the space in between gas molecules Is it just empty space?
Essentially yes - it is empty space. there may be some stray particles now and then but for the most part it is empty.
What is the space between an electron and proton in hydrogen atom filled with?
We can imagine the space between an electron and a proton, in a hydrogen atom, being filled with electromagnetic fields, since both of these particles generate such fields. But really, that is a mathematical device more than a reality. It's empty space. It isn't filled with anything.Answer:The space in an atom is part of the probability density gradient of the electron. Electrons are not any place in particular at any time (the Bohr concept of a solid little planet-like electrons circling the nucleus is not with us any longer), the space between the our "shell" of the atom and the nucleus represents an area where the electron is less likely to be than any other place in the atom. This space is thus filled with the electron, at least part of the time.Alternately, thanks to research on the Higgs boson's existence, there is a position that that a field exists that has non-zero strength everywhere (even in otherwise empty space) this is the this so-called Higgs field. This would fill any space in the atom as well as around the atom.
Which best describe the nucles of an atom?
It is the part of the atom with the greatest mass
Electrical factor of a part of the atom?
charge
What part of an atom takes up most of its space?
The most space of an atom is vacuum.
Which part of an atom takes up the most space?
The protrons and the neutrons take up the most space in a atom.The nucleus takes up the majority of the atoms mass but the majority of the atom at about 99.99% of the atom is actually empty space.
Which part of an atom make up most of the size?
The electron cloud that contains the electrons outside the nucleus takes up the most space of the atom.
What part of the atom takes up most of of its space?
The "Electron Shell" by the current model takes up the most space due to its location in any given place along a series of orbits, but has the least mass.
What part of the atom takes part in chemical reaction?
The electrons
What is the most part of the volume of the atom made of?
A great, great amount of empty space. I refer you to the link attached.
Which part of an atom or ion takes part in a chemical reaction?
The valence electrons are the part that takes place in a chemical reaction.
What part of the atom takes part in a chemical reaction?
Only the valence electrons
What happens after the shace shuttle takes off?
After the space shuttle takes off, it goes into outer space. The astronauts in the space ship keep in contact with the people in case they need help, but are on their own for the most part.
What was Ernest Rutherford most known for?
He is best known for his new model of the atom. He performed the alpha scattering experiment and concluded that the nucleus is positively charged, very dense and makes up a very small part of the atom such that most of an atom is empty space.
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.
What region of an atom has the least mass?
The space surrounding the nucleus.
