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.

What part of an atom takes up the most space?
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 is the amount of space is an object takes up?
The amount of space that an object takes up is known as its volume.Volume is how much space takes up in an object
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.
Something that takes up space?
something that takes up space junk
Has mass takes up space?
Yes. Mass takes up space. Example you. You have mass and you utilize space.
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.
What 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.
What takes up most of the space of the atom?
The electron cloud or electron shell
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 is true of an atom nucleus It is negatively charged and takes up most of the atom and space. It is negatively charged and includes most of the atom and mass. It is positively char?
It is positively charged and includes most of the atom and mass.
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 makes up most of the volume of an atom?
the electron cloud. some people say that's its mostly made up of "nothing" , but that is incorrect. it has to have SOMETHING in it or else it wouldn't be an atom, no? and yes i have done research on this, so i know that my answer is 100% accurate.
Takes up most of the space of an atom?
The most space of an atom is vacuum.The volume filled by the atomic nucleus and electrons is minimal.
What is the smallest unit of matter that has mass and takes up space?
an atom i guess lol
Volume is a measure of?
Volume is the amount of space something takes up.
