The nucleus is the dense core of an atom. It contains over 99 percent of the mass of an atom, but occupies a miniscule amount of the space.
In Rutherford's model of an atom, positively charged particles are concentrated in a small, dense center of an atom called the nucleus. Negatively charged electrons are scattered around the nucleus.
Electrons are precisely one two-thousandth of the mass of a proton or neutron.
The nucleus of an atom contains positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons. Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.
This video segment adapted from A Science Odyssey takes a look at the scale of the atom and the tremendous amount of space between the electrons and the nucleus. If all this empty space exists in matter, how can any substance be solid?

Novel representations and diverse perspectives can reveal new insights into complex systems, and can support rich understandings of the world. In this activity, students will identify and analyze the choices artists and scientists make when creating representations of living or non-living natural objects. This process will help students recognize the potential and place for their own articulation of how the world works. After drawing from nature, students will reflect on the process of representing information, then compare their drawings with that of a 16th-century artist. Students will consider what is included and what is excluded, and hypothesize about larger contexts and systems.
