Name one part of the nuclear theory.

  1. Most of the atom’s mass and all its positive charge are contained in a small core called  nucleus 

  2. Due to electrons being spaced out within the cloud, most of the volume of an atom is just empty space.

  3. There are many negatively charged electrons outside the nucleus as there are positively charged particles within the nucleus. The atom is electrically neutral.
