What is mostly between electrons?
In an atom, the space between electrons and the nucleus is mostly filled with empty space. The nucleus contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, and the electrons surround the nucleus in different energy levels or electron shells.
What do atoms of gold consist mainly of?
All atoms of any element contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Gold has only one natural isotope 197Au which has 79 protons and electrons and 118 neutrons. The main component of any atom is, as early researchers discovered, "empty space" in the region occupied by the electron cloud.
Does most of the volume of an atom consist of protons and neutrons?
Most of the mass of an atom is due to protons (1.0073 amu) & neutrons (1.0087 amu) the other component, electrons, only has a mass of 0.00054858 amu so its contribution is generally insignificant.
What is the majority of an atom mafe of?
The central nucleus and the almost empty space around it containing electrons
Does the amount of protons an element has affect chemical bonding?
Yes and no; the number of protons determine the valance number of electrons. The valence level of electrons and how full/empty it is largely determines an elements chemical behavior. I would say that valence electrons are the main determinant, but that is predetermined by protons.
What is found in between electrons and the protons?
The space is empty, total vacuum.
What is found between the electrons and the nucleus in an atom?
The space between the electrons and the nucleus in an atom is filled with empty space and the nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
What is mostly between electrons?
In an atom, the space between electrons and the nucleus is mostly filled with empty space. The nucleus contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, and the electrons surround the nucleus in different energy levels or electron shells.
True or false Most of an atom is empty space?
True. The protons and neutrons together are dense and comprise most of the mass of the atom. The electrons "circle" around in a "cloud" so there is empty space in between the electrons.
Is almost all the volume of an atom empty space?
Yes, the majority of an atom's volume is indeed empty space. At the center of the atom is a dense nucleus containing protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in distinct energy levels. The space between the nucleus and the electrons is where most of the atom's volume is found.
How do you know that atom is mostly empty space?
The electrons are repelled by the protons, which causes then to be farther away. If the nucleus was the size of a marble, then the atom would be the size of a football stadium. Correction: Electrons are not repelled by the protons but are attracted to them. Opposite charges attract.
What is between electrons and the nucleus?
There is electron charge (and mass) everywhere inside the atom. It is not empty space.There is electronic charge density in the entire volume of an atom. The electrons are said to orbit the nucleus, but that is a short hand description of reality. Reality is described by quantum mechanics and the representation of the location of the electrons is more like a diffuse cloud throughout the atom.Empty space. Nothing.Nothing. Empty space.Nothing between the electrons and the nucleus is nothing99.9% of that space has no matter in it

The diameter of an atom is?
in the bottom Atomic nucleus is at the center of the atom.

What accounts for most of the atom?
Empty Space, but if we're talking in terms of the actual particles. Protons and Neutrons. Electrons count for almost none of the mass.
What is the majority of an atom mafe of?
The central nucleus and the almost empty space around it containing electrons
