An electron is not the largest part of an atom.

An electron is the smallest component of an atom. Relatively, if a neutron or proton were 1 unit in size, an electron would be 1/1840 units in size. :3

Yes, sort of. The area about which the electrons orbit is larger, but the electrons themselves are tiny, compared to either of the particles that make up the nucleus.

Nucleus is made up of proton &Neutrons neutron are made up of proton and electron and hence comprise about 60%-70% mass of atom

Protons and neutrons are smaller particles in the nucleus, smaller than the nucleus itself (except for hydrogen: nucleus IS one proton)

In the atom nearly all the mass is found in the what?

An atom is comprised of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The electrons take up the most space as they orbit the nucleus. But nearly all of the mass of the atom is found in the nucleus of the protons and neutrons.
