What particles make up most of the mass of an atom.What makes up mot of te volume of an atom?

An electron weighs about 1/1836 of a proton, so as far as an atom is concerned, all the mass is in the nucleus, with the protons and neutrons. But the electrons are rotating in their orbits a long way (in proton size terms) from the nucleus. So most of the volume of an atom is empty space.

What these takes up the most space in an atom?

The thing that takes up the most space of an atom at about 99.99% of the size of the atom is empty space. The majority of the remaining 0.01% is found in the nucleus and about 0.00001% of the atom is taken by the electrons.
