Do atoms contian empty space?
Yes they do.
What makes up the most the volume of atoms?
Empty space.
What statement does not describe the current model of the atom?
atoms are mostly empty space
Does heat move only where atoms and molecules are?
No. There is empty space between the sun and earth, but radiant heat gets through that empty region.
Which scientist was the first to describe an atomic model in which most of the atom is empty space?
Ernest Rutherford
The body is made of?
The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms.

Transfer of thermal energy through atoms contacting other atoms?
Not likely. Atoms are mostly empty space.
Does an empty box have any mass?
No because nothing is contained inside the box.

Which particular observation of Rutherford do you think him to believe that the atoms is mostly empty space and that its mass is concentrrated in apositve nucleus?
The fact that the vast majority of the alpha particles got straight through led Rutherford to propose that the atom was composed primarily of empty space. The fact that backscattering occurred in 1 in 8000 alpha particles indicated that there was a small massive positively charged nucleus in the centre of the atom.
Does heat move only where atoms and molecules are?
No. There is empty space between the sun and earth, but radiant heat gets through that empty region.
What is between the helium atoms in a helium balloon?
When you look at atoms at that small of a level, between them you actually have empty space- nothing at all like in space. Even between the nucleus and its electrons of an atom itself there is a lot of empty space.
