Which particles account for most of an atoms mass?
Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with a very small contribution from the orbiting electrons
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 of the following particles is used to determine the mass of an atom?
Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a whole atom?
yes the mass of an electron is much tinnier fraction of the mass of an atom
Which particles account for most of the atoms mass?
Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass
Which particles account for most of an atoms mass?
Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with a very small contribution from the orbiting electrons
What is a subatomic particles with almost no mass?
The electron is the lightest particle in the atom.
Does the nucleus account for almost all the volume of an atom?
No it does not. It accounts for almost all of the mass, not voloume
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 two particle's account for almost all of the mass of an atom?
Protons and neutrons.
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.
What part of the atom contains most of its mass?
The nucleus, made up of protons and neutrons, contains most of an atom's mass.
What two particles each account for half of the mass of the atom?
Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, Alpha Particles, any of those.... just guessing (:
