What makes up the most the volume of atoms?
Empty space.
Why can we state that most of the volume of matter such as the tabletop you are writing on is actually empty space?
Most of the volume of matter, like a tabletop, is considered empty space because the atoms that make up matter are mostly empty space themselves. Atoms consist of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting at a relatively large distance from the nucleus. So while matter may appear solid, it is mostly made up of empty space within the atomic structure.
The universe is mostly made up of what?
Answer: Atoms. Yes but hydrogen is the element most abundant.
Which scientist was the first to describe an atomic model in which most of the atom is empty space?
Ernest Rutherford was the first scientist to describe an atomic model in which most of the atom is empty space. His model proposed that atoms have a dense positive nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons in empty space.
Is most of the universe is empty in space?
yes most of the universe is empty space
What experiments demonstrated that atoms are mostly empty space?
The Rutherford gold foil experiment is a classic example that demonstrated atoms are mostly empty space. In this experiment, alpha particles were directed at a thin gold foil, and most particles passed through without being deflected, suggesting that atoms are mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus.
What scientist demonstrated that the atom is mostly empty space with a small positively charged nucleus containing most of the mass of the atom?
Ernest Rutherford demonstrated this through his gold foil experiment in 1909. He found that most alpha particles passed through the foil, showing that atoms are mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus at the center.
Is an atom composed of mostly empty space?
Yes, an atom is largely composed of empty space. The nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, is very small compared to the overall size of the atom, while the electrons occupy regions around the nucleus called orbitals. These orbitals have a probability distribution that defines where electrons are likely to be found, but in terms of physical volume, most of an atom's space does not contain matter. Thus, we can say that atoms are predominantly empty space.
Do atoms have empty space?
Yes. In 1908, Rutherford conducted an experiment of shooting a beam of alpha particles through a sheet of tinfoil. Most of the alpha particles went straight through the foil, which proves that there are empty spaces in atoms. And the rest of the particles that didn't go straight through the foil are deflected at acute angles, those particles are deflected by the positive nucleus in the center of the atoms.
What takes most space in a atom?
empty space
Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
Most of the matter in the universe exists as?
Matter is made up of elements and compounds, which are made up of atoms. But in an atom, most of the volume that it takes up is empty space. So all matter is mostly made up of empty space.
