the electron cloud.
some people say that's its mostly made up of "nothing" , but that is incorrect.
it has to have SOMETHING in it or else it wouldn't be an atom, no?
and yes i have done research on this, so i know that my answer is 100% accurate.
The main mass of an atom is made up of the nucleus, made up of neutrons and protons. However it takes up very little space compared to the whole atom. The space is filled up with electrons which are arranged in shells.
Empty space makes up most of the volume of an atom. The nucleus (protons and neutrons) make up most of the mass.
Empty space
the electron cloud.
empty space
It's electron cloud
An electron weighs about 1/1836 of a proton, so as far as an atom is concerned, all the mass is in the nucleus, with the protons and neutrons. But the electrons are rotating in their orbits a long way (in proton size terms) from the nucleus. So most of the volume of an atom is empty space.
The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.
Water.
It is usually considered to be neutrons and protons that hold most of an atom's mass, however there is one theoretical subatomic particle that is used to help explain mass, called the higgs boson particle.
how much of an atoms volume does the nucleus make up
Empty space makes up most of the volume of an atom. The nucleus (protons and neutrons) make up most of the mass.
Most of the mass is in the nucleus; most of the volume is in the electron "cloud".
Most of the volume of an atom is vacuum.

Protons believe me
No. The proportion volume taken up by the protons in an atom is incredibly small. The vast majority of the volume of an atom is empty space.
Nothing. An atom is primarily empty space. If the nucleus of a hydrogen atom was a football, the atom itself would be the size of a football stadium, with nothing else inside but the football. There are three things that make up the volume of atoms. The three things that make up the volume of atoms are protons, electrons and neutrons.

An atom is made up of protons and neutrons in a nucleus surrounded by electrons in orbital shells. The majority of the volume however, is empty space.
