What else can I help you with?
What makes up the most the volume of atoms?
Empty space.
The man responsible for discovering that the atom is mostly space is?
Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering that atoms are mostly comprised of empty space. Through his gold foil experiment in 1909, he showed that atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by mostly empty space where electrons orbit.
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about atoms?
that the atom mostly consisted of empty space.
How is it possible for atoms to be composed of mostly empty space?
Think of it as the planets being the electrons: Earth, Venus, Mars etc.... and the Sun being the nucleus. The size of the Sun and planets relative to the empty space in the solar system is small. It's the same kind of idea with atoms.
Which scientist was the first to describe an atomic model in which most of the atom is empty space?
Ernest Rutherford was the first scientist to describe an atomic model in which most of the atom is empty space. His model proposed that atoms have a dense positive nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons in empty space.
The body is made of?
The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space The body is made of bones,fat,cells,blood,and atoms. Because of atoms your body is mostly empty space
What discovery demostrated that atoms are mostly empty space?
bohr
What makes up the most the volume of atoms?
Empty space.
Can travel though empty space?
Yes, you can travel through empty space. The Sun, Earth, moon, satellites, space ships, atoms, and subatomic particles all travel through empty space. Greater than 99.999% of matter is empty space.
Transfer of thermal energy through atoms contacting other atoms?
Not likely. Atoms are mostly empty space.
What is between the helium atoms in a helium balloon?
When you look at atoms at that small of a level, between them you actually have empty space- nothing at all like in space. Even between the nucleus and its electrons of an atom itself there is a lot of empty space.
Who discovered that atoms were mostly empty space?
Rutherford, with his gold foil experiment.
Why can we state that most of the volume of matter such as the tabletop you are writing on is actually empty space?
Most of the volume of matter, like a tabletop, is considered empty space because the atoms that make up matter are mostly empty space themselves. Atoms consist of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting at a relatively large distance from the nucleus. So while matter may appear solid, it is mostly made up of empty space within the atomic structure.
What is a region empty of matter called?
A region empty of matter is called a vacuum. It is a space devoid of particles, atoms, and molecules.
Conducted experiments that indicated that atoms largely consist of empty space?
Lord Rutherford
Are gold atoms composed of mostly matter or empty space?
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).
Who discovered that electrons move in empty space in an atom?
It was Ernest Rutherford who discovered that atoms are mostly composed of empty space with electrons orbiting a very dense nucleus.
