What is the majority of an atom mafe of?

The central nucleus and the almost empty space around it containing electrons


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.


Where does the majority of the volume of an atom come from?

It is the empty space between the nucleus and the electron shells.


What do you think the majority of an atom is made of?

Nearly all the mass is in the nucleus; however, the bulk of an atom's volume is 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.


What makes the volume of an atom?

An atom is made up of protons and neutrons in a nucleus surrounded by electrons in orbital shells. The majority of the volume however, is empty space.


What percent of the atom is free space empty of mass?

If the atom's outer boundary is established by the "mean radius of the outermost electron orbital" or something like that, the atom is waaaaaaaaaaay over 99% free space. The hydrogen atom has a diameter over 100,000 times the diameter of the proton in it's nucleus.


Is almost all the volume of an atom empty space?

Yes, the majority of an atom's volume is indeed empty space. At the center of the atom is a dense nucleus containing protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in distinct energy levels. The space between the nucleus and the electrons is where most of the atom's volume is found.


What is most of the atom by volume?

By volume, atoms consist mainly of nothing. Zip, zero, empty space. An atom is much like our solar system, with tiny planets (like electrons) orbiting above a dense core. In between, much like in our solar system, is nothing but empty space.


Which of these takes up the most space in an atom?

The thing that takes up the most space of an atom at about 99.99% of the size of the atom is empty space. The majority of the remaining 0.01% is found in the nucleus and about 0.00001% of the atom is taken by the electrons.


What was the fate of the vast majority of alpha particles in rutherford's gold-foil experiment?

The vast majority of alpha particles passed through the gold foil without being deflected, as the atom is mostly empty space. However, a small fraction of alpha particles were deflected at large angles, indicating the presence of a dense, positively charged nucleus in the atom.


What takes most of the room in an atom?

EMPTY SPACE! Over 99% of an atom is empty space. The nucleus is in the center and contains neutrons and protons and this is where most of the mass of an atom is.
