Yes, most of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus. If you consider that a proton is over 1800 times more massive than an electron, it might come into focus. The neutron is just a tiny bit heavier than that proton. A single nucleon, which is the term we give a proton or neutron residing in the nucleus of an atom, will far, far outweigh all of the electrons that could possibly be around it. And by a factor in excess of 103, too. No, there isn't a lot of mass in the electron cloud as a whole.
Because the mass of electrons is very low.
The neutrons and protons, both located in the nucleus, make up over 90% the mass.
The nucleus contains the protons and neutrons which have nearly all the mass of an atom.
True as ever.
yes! most of the mass is (:
That is correct.
nucleus
An atom's mass is concentrated in its nucleus, which is located in the center of the atom. Protons and neutrons within the nucleus are responsible for its mass; the electrons, which are located outside of the nucleus, don't contribute to the mass of the atom.
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.
When calculating the mass of an atom, you add the mass of the protons and the neutrons. This is the nucleus of the atom. The electrons are small enough to be ignored except in the most delicate calculations.
The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.
There are two main parts of an atom. The one that contains the most mass is the nucleus, which holds all of the protons and neutrons in a ball at the center of the atom. The second part is the cloud of electrons that orbit the nucleus. So, protons are found in the nucleus of an atom.
The most mass of an atom is found in the nucleus.
Most of the mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.

Protons, and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is the centre of an atom where most of the mass is found. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge.
