Eli5 why is that an atom is 99,6 % empty space ?
In: 332
Who told you that little kid? Anyway a long time ago scientists thought an atom was made of a positive charged nucleus and with some negative charged electrons flying around it like planets go around the sun. In this idea most of the space would be empty like our solar system. But I’ll not lie to you kiddo, that was so long ago and now scientists know this is not like that and to be honest I don’t understand it too.
