Are protons and electrons stuck together in nuetreal pares or do they orbit closer together around a central nucleus or are they far apart with empty space in between or are they mixed together in a cloud

Answer:

There is empty space between electrons and protons

Step-by-step explanation:

The atom is composed of a nucleus and electrons that move round the shells in orbits. The electrons are negatively charged while the protons are positively charged.

In between the nucleus where protons are found and the electrons in orbits is largely empty space, hence the answer above.
