What does the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom contain?

The space surrounding the nucleus of an atom contains electrons, which are negatively charged particles. These electrons occupy various energy levels or orbitals around the nucleus.


Why heat can occupy space?

when heat occupieses space,the particles of heat are moving around in the space that they occupy


Which particle is in the space surrounding the nucleus?

Electrons are the particles that surround the nucleus of an atom. They have a negative charge and occupy energy levels around the nucleus in an electron cloud.


What occupies a small amount of the total space inside an atom?

Electrons occupy a small amount of the total space inside an atom. They are negatively charged particles that move around the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The majority of the volume within an atom is actually empty space.


What parts of the atom takes most of its space?

the nucleus of an atom


What happens to electrons in un-ionic bond?

The electrons in un-ionic or non-ionic bonds occupy space in which at least two nuclear centers are contributing substantially to electrically attracting the electrons, whereas electrons in ionic bonds occupy space centered around a single nucleus as long as the ionic bonds are maintained.


Where do electrons live?

Electrons are found in different energy levels around the nucleus of an atom. They form a "cloud" of negative charge around the nucleus and are constantly moving within this cloud. Electrons do not have a fixed location like planets around a sun but occupy specific regions of space known as orbitals.


What nucleus (protons and neutrons) make up most of the mass (weight) of the atom and occupy a small amount of space whereas the electrons weigh almost nothing but occupy a large amount of space?

A single electron has an infinitesimal volume; do not confuse with the electron cloud.

Why the heat occupy space?

Heat is a form of energy. It can be transmitted through space but it does not occupy space.


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.
