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.

Which part of the atoms contains most of its volume?

An atom's electrons are distributed through most of its volume.


How much of an atom is relatively solid?

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.


What is the part of the atom that makes up the mass of the atom?

the nucleus of the atom


What is the smallest amount element you can have?

As an atom it is the whole atom. As a part it is the electron (which has no volume).


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.


What part of an atom makes up the mass of an atom?

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.


Is a quark a part of the atom?

A quark is what makes up the nuetrons and protons of an atom. So yes, it could be counted as part of an atom.


What best describes the nucleus of an atom?

It’s the most massive part of the atom


What part of the atom makes chemical bonds?

orbital


What parts of an atom makes up all the mass of an atom?

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 the atom?

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.
