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

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.
It is the empty space between the nucleus and the electron shells.
Nearly all the mass is in the nucleus; however, the bulk of an atom's volume is empty space.
Mainly empty space, with a very small and dense nucleus at the center containing the majority of the atom's mass.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
