Both, while electrons make up the most of the shell that counts as volume for matter electrons still require protons to keep them in stable orbit.

But in short yes it is the electrons.

Why can we state that most of the volume of matter such as the tabletop you are writing on is actually empty space?

Most of the volume of matter, like a tabletop, is considered empty space because the atoms that make up matter are mostly empty space themselves. Atoms consist of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting at a relatively large distance from the nucleus. So while matter may appear solid, it is mostly made up of empty space within the atomic structure.


2 requirements of matter?

Two requirements of matter are mass, which is a measure of the amount of material in an object, and volume, which is the amount of space that matter occupies.


Which of matter has a definite shape and a definite volume?

No. Only matter in its solid state has a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and gases have no definite shape or volume.


List three charactoristics properties of matter?

Matter are in four states. They are solid, liquid, gas and ionic ie plasma. In case of solid, the properties are many. Conductive both heat and electricity, elastic property. In case of liquid and gas, both named as fluid as both are capable of flowing, the following properties are common. Diffusion, viscosity. In case of liquid there comes surface tension, osmosis, the properties to be mentioned.


What are three factors of matter?

The three factors of matter are mass, volume, and density. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, volume is the amount of space it occupies, and density is the mass of the object divided by its volume.

Does the volume of matter come from protons or electrons?

The number of electron orbitals is where the volume of matter comes from. The more electrons and orbitals, the more volume. The mass comes from the protons and neutrons.

Why did Tim conclude that all matter is mostly made of empty space?

Tim concluded that all matter is mostly made of empty space because when he studied the structure of atoms, he found that they consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting at a distance. The vast majority of an atom's volume is empty space between the nucleus and the electrons, leading Tim to believe that matter is mostly empty space.
