The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.

What makes an atom?
an atom has two subatomic particles which are neutrons and protons in the nucleus or "center" and electrons surrounding the nucleus in orbitals, "orbit like" regions of space outside the nucleus.
What are tiny and filled in with space - and are the building blocks of all matter?
Atoms. The nucleus of an atom (containing protons and usually neutrons) is small and dense. Electrons can be considered to be a comparatively big cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom. In this sense, atoms are tiny but mostly contain space.
What is the area surrounding nucleus of atom called?
Electron Cloud
What is found in a atoms nucleus?
protons and neutronsProtons and Neutrons are found in the Nucleus.Electrons are found orbiting the Nucleus.
What parts of an atom are found in the nucleus?
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons and protons, in turn, contain quarks.
The space surrounding the nucleus the nucleus of an atom contains?
Electrons
Where are an atom's electrons found?
In the orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
The space surrounding the nucleus of an atom contains revolving?
the nucleus that turns around in circles
Are protons and electrons both found in the nucleus of a chlorine atom?
No. The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, but not electrons. Electrons are found in orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
What makes an atom?

Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
What does the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom contain?
A lot of space and very small electrons. There is between 95% and 99% empty space around the nucleus, before you get to the electron shell of the next atom.
Neutrons are negatively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom?
Yes and no. Electrons are negatively charged, but the are not found within the nucleus.
Where is the proton in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
What surrounds the core of an atom?
Electrons do surrounding the atom and rotate around the nucleus.
The part of an atom that would be found outside the nucleus is the _______.?
The parts of the atom found outside the nucleus would be the electrons, or positrons if the nucleus of the atom is made of antimatter. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle shows us though that the electrons aren't found just in the space outside the nucleus, but in a probabilistic cloud, partly inside the nucleus.
What takes up most of the volume of an atom?
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.
