Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud, which surrounds the nucleus. Electrons orbit the nucleus at varying distances, creating a region of probability where they are likely to be found. While the nucleus itself is very small and dense, containing protons and neutrons, the vast area occupied by the electron cloud accounts for the majority of an atom's volume.
