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.

How will you prove that volume of an atom is chiefly empty space?
This may appreciate knowing the volume of the atom, and the total volume of atomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons).
Subatomic particles can usually pass undeflected through an atom because the volume of an atom is composed of?
largely empty space
What are the names of three particles in an atom?
The 3 Particles in a atom are * Proton * Neutron * Electron
Describe the subatomic particles in an atom?
Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than the actual particle. which means that the actual atoms had a sub-atom,which is apart of the actual atom
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
How will you prove that volume of an atom is chiefly empty space?
This may appreciate knowing the volume of the atom, and the total volume of atomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons).
What are particles that make an atom?
the particles that makes up an atom are protons neurons electrons among which electrons are the smallest.
Subatomic particles can usually pass undeflected through an atom because the volume of an atom is composed of?
largely empty space
What is most of the volume of an atom taken up by?
Moving particles
What makes up most of the volume of an atom.?
Empty space makes up most of the volume of an atom. The nucleus (protons and neutrons) make up most of the mass.
What makes the particles of atom orbit?
The force that keeps them in orbit is the electrostatic attraction between the atom's nucleus and the electrons.
What thing present in an atom makes it responsible for its valency?
These particles are called electrons.
What sub atomic particles makes up mass of an atom?
Protons and neutrons
What makes the volume of an atom?
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.
Does an atom have volume?
a atom does have volume
Which sub atomic particle makes up most of the mass of atom?
These particles are proton and neutron.
What makes up an atom's nucleus?
Within an atom's nucleus are protons and neutrons. The mass of a atom is consisted majorly from protons and neutrons. If your looking further into the atom's nucleus you'll run into "quarks".
