What part of an atom carries most of its mass?
The vast majority of an atom's mass is within the nucleus; the electrons orbiting the nucleus, which do contain the same amount of charge as the nucleus(albeit negative), have virtually no mass when compared to the nucleus. In fact many scientific disciplines disregard the mass of electrons altogether.
How is mass number related to the nucleus?
The mass number is the amount of neutrons within the nucleus minus the amount of protons/electrons.
Do proton have position inside or the outside the nucleus?
Protons are located within the nucleus of the atom. The mass of an atom is made up of majorly; neutrons and protons (both located within the nucleus). The mass of an electron is almost negligible(non-existent).
Is the mass of an atom uniformly distributed within the nucleus?
My God. NO! Protons and neutrons are in the central portion, called the nucleus, and electrons are in the outer part, forming shells around the nucleus. There is empty space between the nucleus and the electron shells.
Where is almost of all of the mass of an atom located?
It is in the nucleus. Electrons are very small
Where is most of mass of an atom within the nucleus or outside of the nucleus?
Most of mass in nucleus.Mass in out is very low.

How is mass number related to the nucleus?
The mass number is the amount of neutrons within the nucleus minus the amount of protons/electrons.
Where in the atom is the mass of the atom concentrated?
It is the nucleus. Mass of electrons is too small
What is the sum of a proton and nuetrons in the nucleus of an atom?
Its the mass number of an atom.The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. Both protons and neutrons which are collectively known as nucleons are found within the nucleus.Mass of electrons are not considered to be contributing towards the mass no. of an atom as their size is small and thus their mass is negligible.
What is the name of the mass of fibers found within the nucleus of cells?
The mass of fibers found within the nucleus of the cell are called chromatins that are made of DNA, RNA and nuclear proteins.
What does the atomic mass tell you?
It tells you the average amount of protons and neutrons within the nucleus of an atom. In other words, atomic mass - atomic number (protons)= the number of neutrons within the nucleus.
Do proton have position inside or the outside the nucleus?
Protons are located within the nucleus of the atom. The mass of an atom is made up of majorly; neutrons and protons (both located within the nucleus). The mass of an electron is almost negligible(non-existent).
The bulk of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the small dense......?
The bulk of the mass of the atom is concenrated in the small, dense nucleus.
Where is the majority of the mass concentrated?
Within the macro-universe, in stars. Within the micro-universe within the nucleus of the atom.
Is all of the mass in an atom in the nucleas?
The mass of an atom is mostly in the nucleus. Though electrons that orbit the nucleus also have mass, their masses are so small (each electron is 1/1823th the mass of a proton), the mass of any atom would be 99.9% in the nucleus.
Over 99 percent of the mass of an atom is contained where?
Within the atom's nucleus.
