Where is almost all of the mass in an atom is located?

Approximately all of the atom's mass is in the nucleus. The electrons contribute almost zero.No atom has more than 100 electrons, but eachproton or neutron in the nucleushas the mass of more than 1,800 electrons.


How was it proved that the whole mass of an atom is located at its center?

The discovery of the nucleus by Ernest Rutherford in the early 20th century provided evidence that the majority of an atom's mass is concentrated in a small, dense region at the center. Rutherford's gold foil experiment demonstrated that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil undeflected, indicating the presence of a concentrated mass at the center of the atom. This led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom, which suggests that the nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass.

Where is most of the mass located in an atom and why?

in the centre within nucleus where protons and neutrons are located.protons and neutrons have atomic mass of 1 u each while electrons revolving around have mass=0u[almost negligible]. so most of the mass is located in centre of an atom.
