What substances plays a mojor role in generating the membrane potential of a neuron?

Well, for starters, membrane potential is a separation of charges across the membrane. So i think what you mean is "generating the action potential in a neuron". So in that case The substance that plays a major role in generating an action potential is Sodium (Na+). However, if you really mean membrane potential, there is only two substances associated with that and those are sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+).However, in truth, the generation of an action potential depends on the ligand and its receptor.

What do resting and action potentials depend on?

The resting and action potentials depend on the balance of charges of the area outside the neuron and inside the neuron. A resting potential is when the neuron is more negatively (approximately -70mv) charged than the area outside the neuron. The action potential occurs when sodium ions rush into the neuron, causing the polarity to be reversed. When there is no difference in charge between the area inside the neuron and the area outside the neuron, no action potentials can be started by that neuron.
