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.

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.


Rutherford concluded from his calculations that the volume of an atom is?

Mainly empty space, with a very small and dense nucleus at the center containing the majority of the atom's mass.
