Which two subatomic particles make up the atomic weight of an atom of an element?

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.


What particles make up the mass of the atom?

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.
