The protrons and the neutrons take up the most space in a atom.

The nucleus takes up the majority of the atoms mass but the majority of the atom at about 99.99% of the atom is actually empty space.

What part of an atom takes up the most space?

Technically, the term particle here is incorrect. The distinction must be made between particle (the things that make up elements and compounds) and sub-atomic particles. (the things that make up elements) In an atom, the sub-atomic particle occupying the most space is the nucleus, containing protons and almost always, neutrons. The rest of it is empty space, save for the orbiting electrons, which are quite tiny in comparison to the nucleus.
