yes.
The distance between the Nucleus and an electron cloud varies from atom to atom (element to element).
think of a basket ball as the nucleus.
The 1st electron cloud could be as far as 1-5 km away.
A lot of empty space
No, Dalton's Atomic Theory did not specifically state that matter is mostly empty space. Instead, it proposed that matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms, which are the building blocks of all substances.
The strong force holds atomic nuclei together.
Yes, an atom is mostly empty space. That said, the space is also "occupied" space because the electrons swirl around the atom's nucleus in orbit. So although the space is not always in use, it is in use quite frequently.
Cellular nuclei, found in eukaryotic cells, are significantly larger than atomic nuclei. A typical cellular nucleus has a diameter of about 5 to 10 micrometers, while atomic nuclei measure on the order of femtometers (10^-15 meters), making them roughly a million times smaller than cellular nuclei. This size difference highlights the vast scale of biological structures compared to atomic components.
The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
Atomic nuclei are very dense, as they contain protons and neutrons tightly packed together. They do not contain electrons, as electrons orbit around the nucleus. Although nuclei are very small in comparison to the overall size of an atom, they are not mostly empty space. Nuclei typically have a positive charge due to the presence of protons.
All atoms are mostly empty space, as the electromagnetic repulsion between atomic nuclei keep them from reaching each other (except under extreme pressure, as in the center of stars).
No, atomic nuclei is not required for a chemical reaction.
Yes. A white dwarf is made mostly of electron degenerate matter, which consists of atomic nuclei surrounded by free electrons. The nuclei contain protons and neutrons.
No, Dalton's Atomic Theory did not specifically state that matter is mostly empty space. Instead, it proposed that matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms, which are the building blocks of all substances.
The combination of two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus is called fusion.
The strong force holds atomic nuclei together.
Yes, an atom is mostly empty space. That said, the space is also "occupied" space because the electrons swirl around the atom's nucleus in orbit. So although the space is not always in use, it is in use quite frequently.
The type of nuclear reaction that releases energy through the combination of atomic nuclei is called fusion. This is different from fission reactions, which involve the splitting of atomic nuclei.
Neutron
The answer is Atomic Physics. Atomic physics is the study of atomic interractions.
Fission and/or fusion of atomic nuclei.
