Mostly empty, In the common model of the atom, electrons are really tiny and they are relatively far from the nucleus which is small (but larger than electrons). In between there is nothing. To bring this distance into perspective if a nucleus is here the next electron would be a football field away.
What else can I help you with?
Discovered the nucleus and that atom was composed of mostly empty space?
Rutherford
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell them about the atom?
It told them that the atom was mostly empty space.
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about the atom?
That the atom Mostly consisted of empty space.- apex
What part of an atom that is mostly empty space is the?
The part of an atom that is mostly empty space is the electron cloud. This region surrounds the nucleus and contains electrons that occupy various energy levels or orbitals. While the nucleus is dense and contains protons and neutrons, the vast majority of an atom's volume is taken up by the electron cloud, where electrons move around in a mostly empty area.
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about atoms?

Who first came up with the idea that the atom is mostly empty space?
The idea that the atom is mostly empty space was first proposed by Ernest Rutherford based on his gold foil experiment in 1909. This experiment led to the discovery that most of an atom's mass is concentrated in a nucleus at the center, surrounded by electrons in vast empty space.
The reason a granite block is mostly empty space is that the atoms in the granite are?
Yes, this is essentially true. Well over 99.9% of the mass of any atom is in the nucleus. The electrons in their orbitals around that nucleus actually determine the spacial volume that the atom occupies. And on an atomic scale, the distance from the nucleus to the outer boundaries of the electron cloud is enormous. The atom is mostly empty space, and, therefore, anything made up of atoms is mostly empty space.
