A lot of space and very small electrons. There is between 95% and 99% empty space around the nucleus, before you get to the electron shell of the next atom.

What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?

The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.


What does both an atom and a nucleus contain?

An Atom's nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Surrounding them is the electron cloud.


The space surrounding the nucleus the nucleus of an atom contains?

Electrons


What are tiny and filled in with space - and are the building blocks of all matter?

Atoms. The nucleus of an atom (containing protons and usually neutrons) is small and dense. Electrons can be considered to be a comparatively big cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom. In this sense, atoms are tiny but mostly contain space.


What makes an atom?

an atom has two subatomic particles which are neutrons and protons in the nucleus or "center" and electrons surrounding the nucleus in orbitals, "orbit like" regions of space outside the nucleus.


How does the volume of a nucleus compare to the volume of an atom?

The nucleus of an atom is much smaller than the volume of the entire atom. The nucleus makes up only a tiny fraction of the total volume, with the electrons surrounding the nucleus occupying the majority of the space.


What does the nuclease of an atom not contain?

the nucleus does not contain electrons of the atom.


The mass of an atom is contained primarily in its?

The mass of an atom is primarily contained in its nucleus, which is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons, which have a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons, occupy the space surrounding the nucleus.


What does nucleus of an atom have?

The nucleus of an atom contain protons and neutrons; protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.


The space surrounding the nucleus of an atom contains revolving?

Electrons. These electrons move in orbitals around the nucleus, which is the central part of the atom containing protons and neutrons. The arrangement of these electrons determines the chemical properties of the atom.


The nucleus of atom is?

The atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons; a nucleus is in the center of the atom and is electrically positive


Does a proton make up the most volume of an atom?

No, a proton is a subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom. The majority of the volume of an atom is made up of the empty space surrounding the nucleus, where the electrons are found.
