If you are talking about an atom, the nuclues which is composed of protons and neutrons, is surrounded by electrons. Which make up a cloud around the outside of the nucleus.

It is an 'electron' to which you allude.


What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?

The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.


What is the negatively charged particle found surrounding the nucleus?

The negatively charged particle found surrounding the nucleus is the electron. Electrons are much smaller and lighter than protons and neutrons, and they orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels. They play a crucial role in chemical bonding and determining the chemical properties of an atom.


Which particle of an atom is in a cloud space?

We understand that the electron is the particle that is found in what is called the electron cloud around the nucleus of an atom.


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.


What is the large space surrounding the atomic nucleus that is orbiting electrons that can be found?

This space is only absolute vacuum.


Does a proton make up the most volume of an atom?

No, a proton is a subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom. The majority of the volume of an atom is made up of the empty space surrounding the nucleus, where the electrons are found.


What is the particle that circles the nucleus?

The negative particle that circles the nucleus is the electron.


If an particle hits a gold nucleus in a head on collision the particle will not be deflected very much?

Correct, due to the massive size of the gold nucleus compared to the size of the incoming particle, the particle will not experience a large deflection in a head-on collision. This is because of the concentrated positive charge in a small space in the gold nucleus that causes a very strong Coulomb repulsion when the incoming particle gets close to it.
