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 else can I help you with?
What part of the atom is the heaviest has the most mass?
The nucleus of an atom is the heaviest part and contains most of the atom's mass. It is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons, which orbit the nucleus, have much less mass compared to protons and neutrons.
What is the space between an electron and proton in hydrogen atom filled with?
We can imagine the space between an electron and a proton, in a hydrogen atom, being filled with electromagnetic fields, since both of these particles generate such fields. But really, that is a mathematical device more than a reality. It's empty space. It isn't filled with anything.Answer:The space in an atom is part of the probability density gradient of the electron. Electrons are not any place in particular at any time (the Bohr concept of a solid little planet-like electrons circling the nucleus is not with us any longer), the space between the our "shell" of the atom and the nucleus represents an area where the electron is less likely to be than any other place in the atom. This space is thus filled with the electron, at least part of the time.Alternately, thanks to research on the Higgs boson's existence, there is a position that that a field exists that has non-zero strength everywhere (even in otherwise empty space) this is the this so-called Higgs field. This would fill any space in the atom as well as around the atom.
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 did Rutherford call positivelyy charged central part of the atom?
the nucleus of an atom that contains the positively charged protons and the neutral neutrons
What fills the space in between gas molecules Is it just empty space?
The space in between gas molecules is not "just empty space." It is filled with constantly moving and colliding molecules. Gas molecules are in constant motion, so even though there may be more space between them compared to liquids or solids, the space is not truly empty.
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 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.
Which part of an atom make up most of the size?
The electron cloud makes up most of the size of an atom. Electrons are found in regions around the nucleus, and their movement creates a cloud-like structure that extends far beyond the nucleus itself.
What part of the atom takes part in chemical reaction?
The electrons
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.
Which part of an atom or ion takes part in a chemical reaction?
The valence electrons are the part that takes place in a chemical reaction.
What part of the atom takes part in a chemical reaction?
Only the valence electrons
Most of the mass of an atom is found in which part of it?
In the nucleus.
What is the second most massive part of the atom?
oxygen
What best describes the nucleus of an atom?
It’s the most massive part of the atom
What is a positively central part of an atom?
In the nucleus of an atom, the positively charged particles are called Protons.
