most of an atoms volume is nothing, think of the atom as a football stadium, a football in the centre is the neucleus, electrons would be the size of peas in the very back row, the rest is empty space. on top of that the neclues is made of protons and neutrons, which spaces between, these necleons are made of quarks which also have empty space between them, the quarks are made of neons which again have spaces between. Many physicists believes this continues in this fashion.
Almost all of the volume of an atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.
The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.
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.
In the nucleus of an atom, the positively charged particles are called Protons.
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.
An atom's electrons are distributed through most of its volume.
An atom is mostly empty space, with the solid part being the nucleus composed of protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds, giving atoms their volume. Therefore, the solid part of an atom (nucleus) makes up a very small fraction of its overall volume.
the nucleus of the atom
As an atom it is the whole atom. As a part it is the electron (which has no volume).
A great, great amount of empty space. I refer you to the link attached.
the nucleus
Almost all of the volume of an atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.
A quark is what makes up the nuetrons and protons of an atom. So yes, it could be counted as part of an atom.
It’s the most massive part of the atom
orbital
The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.
The center solid part of an atom is called the nucleus. It contains protons and neutrons, which are held together by strong nuclear forces. The nucleus makes up most of the atom's mass and is surrounded by a cloud of electrons.
