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.

It told them that the atom was mostly empty space.
That the atom Mostly consisted of empty space.- apex
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.

The scientist stated that the structure of an atom is mostly empty space.
He discovered that the atom was mostly made up of empty space.
no it's mostly filled with empty space.

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