The lightest of an atom's main constituents?
An atom is composed of three main particles, the proton, electron and neutron. The electron is the lightest among the three.
Of the three particles that make up an atom which is the lightest?
The electron.
What atom is the lightest?
The lightest and smallest atom is hydrogen. It has a single proton and a single electron. There are some other isotopes of hydrogen that have one or more neutrons. Although those isotopes are naturally occurring, they are rare and for most purposes, we can ignore their existence.
Where can the most mass be found in an atom?
Essentially all of the atom's mass is in the nucleus. In the lightest atom, that of hydrogen, it's about 99.95 percent. In the heaviest naturally occurring atom, that of Uranium238, it's about 99.979 percent.
