An atom is composed of a central nucleus containing a varying number of protons and neutrons, and electrons, which orbit the nucleus in shells. The majority of an atoms volume comes from the space between the central nucleus and the surrounding electrons.

What makes up most of the volume of an atom?

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.
