The nucleolus.
The PROTONS and NEUTRONS in the nucleus of an atom make nearly all the mass of an atom.
By definition a proton has mass of '1'
A neutron has a mass of '1'
However an electron has a mass o 1/1860 of a proton.
So as an example, taking carbon .
It has a mass of '12' , composed of 6 x 1 protons + 6 x 1 neutrons. The '6' electrons only have a comparable mass of 6/1860 = 1/310.
The sum of all Protons and Neutrons.
Nearly all of an atom and mass is made up of protons and neutrons.
All atoms in a pure sample of one element have the same mass. The atoms in a different element have a different mass. Different atoms is what makes different elements.

The sum of all Protons and Neutrons.
Very nearly all of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus in the form of Protons and Neutrons. Electrons and "binding energy" contribute a tiny amount of additional mass.
No. Everything has mass. Atoms have mass, Everything has atoms. :) Atomic Mass Number for example. :)
He concluded that all atoms of an element have same mass and identical chemical and physical properties.
Almost all of an atom's mass is in the nucleus.
