Answer 1

The correct statement is: **Most of the volume of an atom is empty space.**

Atoms consist of a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) that is very small compared to the overall size of the atom, which is defined by the region where the electrons are likely to be found. This region is largely considered to be empty space.
