Which subatomic particles are located in MOST of the space within an atom?
Protons and Neutrons
What particles occupy most of the space of the atom?
Protons and NeutronsMost of the space of an atom is just that. Space. The protons and neutrons make up most of the mass and are at the centre of the atom. The electrons orbit this central core in an electron 'cloud'. This cloud can be many orders of magnitude larger than the nucleus.
What did Rutherford conclude when most particles fired at metal passed straight through?
That the atom was mostly empty space
Which particles account for most of the atoms mass?
Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass
What part of an atom takes up most of its space?
The most space of an atom is vacuum.
How did Rutherford know that atom was mostly space?
Most of the particles went through the gold foil, but only a few bounced back.
What evidence led Rutherford to conclude that an atom is mostly empty space?
The experimental evidence led Rutherford to conclude that an atom is mostly empty space because most of the particles weren't deflected off of the gold foil in his experiment.
What accounts for most of the atom?
Empty Space, but if we're talking in terms of the actual particles. Protons and Neutrons. Electrons count for almost none of the mass.
What takes most space in a atom?
empty space
Which of these takes up the most space in an atom?
The thing that takes up the most space of an atom at about 99.99% of the size of the atom is empty space. The majority of the remaining 0.01% is found in the nucleus and about 0.00001% of the atom is taken by the electrons.
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.
What subatomic particle or particles contributes the most to the mass of the atom?
These particles are protons and neutrons.
