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.
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.
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.
The central nucleus and the almost empty space around it containing electrons
Mostly empty space.!!!! An atom has a nucleus containing protons and neutrons. Around this nucleus are energy shells of electrons. The analogy is the Solar System. The Sun is the nucleus, the planets are the electrons, but think of all the space between the Sun and the Planets. An atom can be thought of in the same manner.
The space is empty, total vacuum.
The space between the electrons and the nucleus in an atom is filled with empty space and the nucleus contains protons and neutrons.

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.
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.
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.
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

in the bottom Atomic nucleus is at the center of the atom.

Atoms are mostly made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons carry a negative charge. The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons orbit around the nucleus.
Empty Space, but if we're talking in terms of the actual particles. Protons and Neutrons. Electrons count for almost none of the mass.
