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.

When a neutral atom captures a free electron what is the net charge on the atom?
The charge of an atom who captured a single elektron is - or -1
A free-moving neutron is absorbed by the nucleus of an atom. This can cause?
the atom to become unstable and rip apart
What is the conductivity of free space?
Conductivity of free space can be approximated to be equal to the conductivity inside of a vacuum, which is zero.
What is free electron?
any electron that's NOT bound to an atom
Which part of an atom is free to move?
Because atoms are in everything!
What percent of outer space is empty?
0%. Outer space is filled by Maxwell's Aether with "free space Resistance" z= W/Q =375 Ohms, where W and Q are electromagnetic Charges. Planck's Constant h=QW.
What is the differerence between free space and emptiness?
Free space is space that is available to be filled or used for some purpose. Emptiness is the state of containing nothing, but as all space contains something there is no place that is completely empty. I might add that a vacuum is not competely empty.
What is a negative externality of drinking a can of caffeine free diet soda?
the space that the empty can will take up in a landfull if not recycled
Terminal velosity of free falling mass in empty space is?
If the space is in outer space there can be no gas against which a terminal velocity can occur
What type of energy can travel trough empty space and travels in waves?
Electron free light.
Can deleting picture files from a computer free disk space?
Yes it does. But don't forget to empty your recycle bin.
What is a negative externally of drinking a can of caffeine free diet soda?
the space that the empty can will take up in a landfull if not recycled
What is a negative externally of drinking a can of caffeine - free diet soda?
the space that the empty can will take up in a landfull if not recycled
Why is it so difficult to compress an atom into a smaller volume despite its empty nature?
It is difficult to compress atoms into smaller volume because of the electromagnetic repulsion that would occur as they got too close. Some solids do have enough free space in between their atoms to be compressed some.
Is there anything in empty space?
This is quite simple. Whenever you are told that space is empty, you can tell that person that they are in fact wrong. Space may appear empty but there are actually still particles flying around in space all the time. Whether its neutrinos, light, or other misc. particles, they are always colliding with each other. So asking "how can nothing not exist", I'd say that nothing never exists because of these particles. --EDIT: You can have space that doesn't contain any of the mentioned particles. What you are left with is empty space. Recent theories suggest space has an inherent energy. Empty space is very different from "nothing".
What percentage of my living room space should be taken up by my furniture?
The size of your living room furniture depends greatly on your lifestyle. Ideally you should fill your living room with about 50 percent furniture and have 50 percent free space. This will lend to a nice looking room. If you have children, you may like more free space for them to play in. On the other hand, if you rarely use the room, you may find that 75 percent of the space taken up by furniture is acceptable.
Which charges in an atom are more free to move about?
The electrons of an atom can note freely around an atom.
