If the atom's outer boundary is established by the "mean radius of the outermost electron orbital" or something like that, the atom is waaaaaaaaaaay over 99% free space. The hydrogen atom has a diameter over 100,000 times the diameter of the proton in it's nucleus.

Rutherford's experiment included bombarding thin gold foil with alpha particles based on this research he concluded that?
Rutherford concluded that the atom is mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus at the center. He also proposed the nuclear model of the atom, where electrons orbit the nucleus in a mostly empty space. This experiment laid the foundation for the modern understanding of atomic structure.
When a neutral atom captures a free electron what is the net charge on the atom?
When a neutral atom captures a free electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion. The net charge on the atom is -1.
What is the conductivity of free space?
The conductivity of free space, also known as vacuum permittivity, is approximately (8.854 \times 10^{-12} , \text{F/m}). It represents the ability of free space to transmit electric fields.
What particles are never present in an atom?
Particles that are never present in an atom include free electrons (outside the nucleus), neutrinos, and positrons. These particles do not form part of the structure of the atom itself.
An atom with 5 free electrons is said to be?
An atom with 5 free electrons is said to be pentavalent.
What percent of outer space is empty?
0%. Outer space is filled by Maxwell's Aether with "free space Resistance" z= W/Q =375 Ohms, where W and Q are electromagnetic Charges. Planck's Constant h=QW.
What is the differerence between free space and emptiness?
Free space is space that is available to be filled or used for some purpose. Emptiness is the state of containing nothing, but as all space contains something there is no place that is completely empty. I might add that a vacuum is not competely empty.
What is a negative externality of drinking a can of caffeine free diet soda?
the space that the empty can will take up in a landfull if not recycled
Terminal velosity of free falling mass in empty space is?
If the space is in outer space there can be no gas against which a terminal velocity can occur

Can deleting picture files from a computer free disk space?
Yes it does. But don't forget to empty your recycle bin.
What is a negative externally of drinking a can of caffeine free diet soda?
the space that the empty can will take up in a landfull if not recycled
What is a negative externally of drinking a can of caffeine - free diet soda?
the space that the empty can will take up in a landfull if not recycled
Why is it so difficult to compress an atom into a smaller volume despite its empty nature?
It is difficult to compress atoms into smaller volume because of the electromagnetic repulsion that would occur as they got too close. Some solids do have enough free space in between their atoms to be compressed some.
Is there anything in empty space?
Empty space, also known as a vacuum, is not truly empty. It contains virtual particles that spontaneously appear and disappear, governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. These brief fluctuations give empty space energy and properties.
What type of energy can travel trough empty space and travels in waves?
Electromagnetic energy can travel through empty space and travels in waves. This includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What percentage of my living room space should be taken up by my furniture?
The size of your living room furniture depends greatly on your lifestyle. Ideally you should fill your living room with about 50 percent furniture and have 50 percent free space. This will lend to a nice looking room. If you have children, you may like more free space for them to play in. On the other hand, if you rarely use the room, you may find that 75 percent of the space taken up by furniture is acceptable.
