Which particles account for most of an atoms mass?

Protons and neutrons are the particles that account for most of an atom's mass. Electrons, which have much less mass, play a negligible role in the overall mass of an atom.


What is negatively charged particles of atoms with almost no mass called?

Negatively charged particles with almost no mass are called electrons. These subatomic particles orbit around the nucleus of an atom and are responsible for carrying electrical current and facilitating chemical reactions.


What particles in the atom that account for most of the mass of the atom are protons and what?

Neutrons is the answer. Both protons and neutrons have almost equal mass and concentrated in nucleus. Electrons have negligible mass as compared to mass of protons and neutrons and such minor figures are discarded in physics as much as mass isconcerned. Mass of electron is 1/1836 as compared to proton. But electric charge wise 'both' are equal and apposite.

Which other particles have almost the same mass as protons?

Neutrons have almost the same mass as protons. They are both subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom and are collectively referred to as nucleons. The mass of a neutron is only slightly greater than that of a proton.

What are two particles account for almost all of the mass of an atom?

Protons & Neutrons. They are found in the nucleus of the atom and weigh roughly 1800 times what electrons weigh - with the electrons 'orbiting' like a microscopic 'solar system'.


What particles take up most of the mass of an atom?

Protons and neutrons make up most of the mass of an atom. Electrons weigh almost nothing by comparison.
