The proton and the neutron make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom.
Protons and neutrons account for nearly all the mass of atoms (except hydrogen-1, which does not contain neutrons).
proton and neutron
the electron particles make up the mostr mass
Protons and neutrons, the particles that make up atomic nuclei, are the ones responsible for almost all of the mass of an atom. As the electron has less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton, a whole flock of electrons won't significantly change the mass of an atom. We look to the protons and neutrons (called nucleons when they are being considered as components of an atomic nucleus) to contribute to the mass of an atom, and they will be considered when we derive the atom weight of an element.
Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass
The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom is called mass number.
The smallest particles that have been discovered and that don't only exist in theory are the quarks. They are what make up protons, neutrons, all kinds of baryons, and a few other categories of particles. But there is a theory of smaller particles that make up quarks, electrons, and other particles that were previously believed to be fundamental (But, again, these particles only exist in theory). These particles are to be called "rishons" if discovered.

Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
Protons and neutrons make up most of the mass of an atom. Electrons weigh almost nothing by comparison.
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
proton and neutron
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom (which equal the number of electrons present) The atomic mass is the number of protons+neutrons in an atom
protons and nuetrons
The major contribution to the mass of an atom is from protons and neutrons; electrons have a known but negligible mass.
These particles are protons and neutrons.
The protons and the neutrons make up the atomic weight of an atom of an element, they have roughly the same mass and electrons have so little mass that they're negligible.
