The part of an atom that is mostly empty space is the Cloud/Mist/Fog

According to the latest atomic model, the atomic nucleus is surrounded by fog / cloud of electrons

\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold {Further ~ explanation}}}

Rutherford scientists experimented with firing alpha rays on a thin gold plate. From this experiment, it was found that:

  • 1. Most alpha rays are passed through the gold plate, so it is concluded that most space in the atom has empty space
  • 2. A small number of alpha particles that show there are positively charged particles inside the atom(at this time these particles are called protons located in the atomic nucleus)

From here comes the Rutherford atomic model which states that the initiates are charged particles and negatively charged electrons around the nucleus.

So that from this atomic model it shows most of the volume of atoms filled by electrons and between atomic nuclei and electrons is empty space

According to the latest atomic model, the atomic nucleus is surrounded by fog/cloud of electrons. If there is an incoming beam of light that is fired at the atom, then the light can be forwarded or absorbed into this electron mist/cloud

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Electron cloud

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. Atom is made up of two parts ; that is the nucleus and the electron cloud. The nucleus contain subatomic particles; protons and neutrons, while the electron cloud contains the electrons.</u></em>
  • <em><u>The electron cloud is the largest part of the atom and is mostly an empty space. Most of an atom is a cloud of electrons surrounding a space called the nucleus with tiny protons and neutrons.</u></em>

When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.
FromTheMoon [43]

Water is a very unique substance because it can exist in all three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) within the normal temperature ranges found on Earth. When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.
