What is nucleus of an atom?

The nucleus of an atom is the central core where protons and neutrons are located. It is very dense and contains most of the mass of the atom. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.


Is the very small dense center of an atom?

Nucleus


Rutherford concluded from his calculations that the volume of an atom is?

Mainly empty space, with a very small and dense nucleus at the center containing the majority of the atom's mass.


Elaborate on what the nuclear model of the atom indicates about the volume in the atom.?

The nuclear model of the atom suggests that an atom is mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus at the center. The volume of an atom is therefore primarily occupied by this empty space, with the nucleus accounting for a very small portion of the total volume.


Why the nucleus is very dense?

Because more than 99 % from the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus (protons + neutrons).


What is the nucleus of an atom?

It contains protons, and SOME also contain neutrons.


What did Rutherford discover about the volume of the nucleus?

Rutherford discovered that the nucleus occupies a very small volume compared to the overall size of the atom. He found that the nucleus is extremely dense and contains nearly all the mass of the atom, while the rest of the atom is mostly empty space.


Is the nucleus a very small region of the atom?

No, the nucleus is a relatively small region located at the center of an atom. It contains protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in the electron cloud. The nucleus contributes most of the atom's mass and has a positive charge.


Is an atom large?

An atom is very small the human eye can not see an atom that is what makes it small.


Describe the experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom?

The experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom comes from the results of the Rutherford gold foil experiment. In this experiment, alpha particles were fired at a thin gold foil, and most particles passed straight through, indicating that the nucleus, where most of the atom's mass is concentrated, is very small compared to the overall size of the atom. This led to the development of the planetary model of the atom, where electrons orbit a small, dense nucleus.


Is atom small?

Yes VERY small


What is the initial state of the universe according to the big bang theory?

Very small, very dense, very hot. Basically, all the matter that is currently in the Universe was initially concentrated in a space smaller than an atom.
