Sub atomic parts inside and outside the nudeus of your atom?
I am assuming your question is: "what are the sub atomic molecules inside and outside the nucleus of an atom?" Here is the answer: There are three subatomic particles, Protons Neutrons and Electrons. Protons are located inside the nucleus of an atom, along with Neutrons. Electrons are located outside the nucleus, inside things called energy levels, but i won't go into to much detail. Hope that answers your question
Do atoms have empty space?
Yes. In 1908, Rutherford conducted an experiment of shooting a beam of alpha particles through a sheet of tinfoil. Most of the alpha particles went straight through the foil, which proves that there are empty spaces in atoms. And the rest of the particles that didn't go straight through the foil are deflected at acute angles, those particles are deflected by the positive nucleus in the center of the atoms.
What is the Rutherford gold foil experiment?
Rutherford's experiment with the gold foil was done by his assistants, Geiger and Marsden. (We gotta give 'em their props. The experiment, by the way, carries the names of those two guys. They did the work.) Let's check it out. An alpha source was set up. Alpha particles are helium nuclei, two protons and two neutrons. A shielded block with a hole in it served as the source. Radon was put inside. The hole acted as the only means of escape for the alpha particles. The hole was pointed at the foil. The foil was set up a short distance from the source, and in a line with the opening in the shield block. (They needed to "aim" the source at the foil.) Using the foil as the center of the collision or scattering events, they took a long strip of material that was coated with zinc sulfide and set it up in an almost complete circle. Now they had an "arena" for the event with the target at the center and the little strip of scintillant material around it. They turned off the lights. That way they could see the scintillations, the little blinks of light that resulted when an alpha particle hit the screen. Remember that they are looking at the screen and not the target. They expected all the particles to go right through the target, but they noticed some reactions along the sides. Not many or often, but they were there. Hit the links for the diagrams.
How is the charge on an individual atom represented?
The charge of an atom as a whole is zero. We can give the charge of a nucleus. If any electron, negatively charged one, go out of atom then the atom gets positive charge and it is named as positive ion. Same way if excess electrons get cling with the neutral atom then the atom becomes a negative ion.
What is the smallest unit of matter with unique characteristics?
That would be an atom. Atoms go down to protons, neutrons and electrons, but these do not have unique characteristics. So, the smallest particle with unique characteristics is an atom.
How do chemical reactions proceed?
Atomic, and subatomic particles go to different atomic, and subatomic particles.
Where are the subatomic particles found in an atom?
the particles that make up an atom are; a proton/protons a neutron/neutrons an electron/electrons these are also made up of other particles but to go any further into this subject would require that you have at least a basic understanding of quantum mechanics and these particles are not important at any educational level below degree level (generaly speaking)
What is a name for all the subatomic particles?
There are many many subatomic particles, the main three are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Go to the Related Link below, for the relevant page at Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia".
What is the most subatomic particle?
The are 16 fundamental particles that we know of. Everything you see around you is made up of a few of these. Up qarks and down quarks make up the nucleus of an atom and are held together by gluons which are force carrier particles. The electrons that go anound the nucleus to make the atom are also fundamental particles and these are held in place by photons which are also force carrier paticles.
What particles are moving from atom to atom in a wire?
In a metal wire electrons go and go and go! when conducting electric current.
What was the conclusion of Rutherford's gold foil experiment in terms of an atom's mass and volume?
Rutherford found that when when he aimed alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil, that some of the particles were deflecteted and didn't go straight through the foil. The reason for this turned out the be that they ran into the nucleus. Most of the particles did go straight through, so Rutherford concluded that the atom was mostly empty space. He also concluded that the center of the atom contained the nucleus and had positively charged particles he called protons.
What subatomic particle is located inside the nucleus?
The centre of an atom is called the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons, which have a positive charge and neutrons which have no charge. Electrons are also subatomic particles but they go around the nucleus so they are not in the centre.
Is a neutron a partial within an atom?
I do not know what you mean by "partial", but a neutron is a subatomic particle and neutrons can go into the make up of atomic nuclei.
Will we eventually be able to create powerful enough electron microscopes that we could see atoms and subatomic particles?
Not microscopes per se. Microscopes are used to view the fine details of molecular matter, so after going beyond the atomic, it is no longer considered microscopy. Some electron microscopes can resolve single atom detail.For inspecting subatomic particles, we use particle accelerators, which work similarly to electron microscopes, in that they use a beam of high velocity particles (sometimes electrons) with wavelengths on the order of the size of the details we want to investigate. These high velocity particles interact with the subatomic particles to produce diffraction patterns, which are then used to calculate the original arrangement of the subatomic particles. But unlike a microscope, we cannot see a "snap shot" of the inside of a nucleus. The arrangement of particles in a nucleus is constantly changing, and the electrons only hit it one-at-a-time, so instead we obtain a probability for the locations of subatomic particles relative to other subatomic particles.It might seem a little complicated, but think of it like throwing stones at a moving marry-go-round. If you plot out where the stones land, you will eventually see that the marry-go-round is a plate with a bunch of point masses arranged at multiple radii. Throw even more stones, and you might be able to determine the speed at which the marry-go-round is turning, and the locations and number of the masses. Throw a whole lot of stones even faster, and you might be able to tell what the individual masses look like. Now think about throwing all of those stones, not at a single marry-go-round, but many marry-go-rounds, all of the same model, and it will be the same as a particle accelerator.

What parts go in the center of the atom?
Nucleus (and it consists of protons and neutrons).
What are atoms consits consist of?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons. To go further, those are made of various subatomic particles.
