∙ 11y agoDepends on the the atom size. A hydrogen atom is 0.12 nanometer in diameter, which would make the answer 1/0.12= 8.33.
A cesium atom is 0.34 nanometer, which would make the answer 1/0.34= 2.94.
The answer is thus dependent on the element.

H20, which would mean two hydrogens and one of oxygen. They combine by sharing their electrons, the hydrogens put their one electron in the outer electron cloud of the oxygen. the oxygen has six valance electrons, so it still has space for two more.
more than all the positive atoms in space
of course! the space between atoms is always very small, but there is always spaces, even in solids
There is no oxygen in space. The oxygen in space stations is created through a process called electrolysis, which uses energy from solar panels to split water (H2O) into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2).
Almost all of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus (a nucleon weighs about 2000 times more than an electron) and almost all of an atom is empty space; the nucleus is much smaller than an atom. And a gas also is composed almost entirely of empty space between the atoms or molecules. So the density of an oxygen nucleus is vastly greater than that of oxygen gas.
There is space between atoms of solids that is in the range of a couple of tenths of a nanometer.
The lined space is reserved for the loading and unloading of wheelchairs.
Magnetism is the "lining up" of atoms. Iron atoms line up easily and tend to stay lined up. Rust is iron plus oxygen plus space: since there is less iron in a given volume of rust than in the same volume of solid iron, there are fewer iron atoms present to be polarized.
They need to take it with them. There is no oxygen in space

NO BUT....In outer space, metal objects don't rust exactly like they do on earth, but something similar to rusting can occur in space. On earth, metal rusts when the iron atoms in the metal interact with water molecules. These interactions break the chemical bonds that hold the atoms in the metal together, and at the same time allow the atoms in the metal to form new bonds with oxygen atoms and/or water molecules, producing the red, crumbly material we know as rust. This material is actually a combination of metal atoms and oxygen atoms, so metal cannot rust on its own; oxygen or water needs to be added to it. In the vacuum of outer space, there is very little water or oxygen. A metal object therefore cannot rust in space like it would on Earth. However, even in outer space there are still a few oxygen atoms around. Also, in space there are some types of light (called ultraviolet light) that can break chemical bonds between atoms (most of this ultraviolet light doesn't reach us here on the ground because it can't pass through the Earth's atmosphere). When these atoms and ultraviolet light strike metal in space, they can produce some of the same combinations of metal and oxygen atoms found in rust. Because the density of atoms in outer space is very low, it takes many years for much of this "rust" to form on any object. We can get a sense of just how slowly things rust in space by looking at iron meteorites, chunks of metal that have fallen to earth from outer space, Before they crash-landed on earth, these bits of metal drifted around the solar system for millions or even billions of years, and yet for the most part they are still chunks of pure metal with little rust. Even so, the small amount of rust formed on metal objects in outer space can be important because it changes the color and texture of the objects' surface. These surface changes happen not only to metal objects, but to rocks as well, and they need to be taken into account if scientists want to figure out what objects in outer space are made of based on how they look through telescopes.
