Where is almost all of the mass in an atom is located?
Approximately all of the atom's mass is in the nucleus. The electrons contribute almost zero.No atom has more than 100 electrons, but eachproton or neutron in the nucleushas the mass of more than 1,800 electrons.
Why is it said that the nucleus of an atom contains almost the entire mass and not the entire mass?
Yes. An electron, one of those little negatively charged critters that forms up around the nucleus of an atom, has little mass compared to the nucleons. (Nucleons are protons and neutrons - the particles that make up the nucleus). In fact, the mass of an electron is less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton. All the electrons in any given atom account for only a tiny amount of the total mass of that atom. Almost all the mass is accounted for the protons and neutrons (if any) in the nucleus. It's that simple, and you already show that you know it.
Most of the atom's positive charge and almost all of its mass is located in this region of the atom?
The nucleus.
Where is almost of all of the mass of an atom located?
It is in the nucleus. Electrons are very small
Is the most of the volume of an atom empty space or nucleus?
Most of the atom is empty space (between the electron orbitals and the nucleus itself). If your talking about nucleus vs. electrons then the nucleus is larger in volume and mass
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.
Lost of an atoms mass is in the nucleus?
Almost all of an atom's mass is in the nucleus.
Is the masss of an atom concentrated in the proton?
The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. Protons are a part of the nucleus, but not the entire thing. Neutrons are also in the nucleus and have nearly the same mass as protons.
Did bohr discover that the atoms mass came frome neutrons and protons?
Rutherford discovered that almost entire mass of an atom is located in the nucleus, and then, the neutron was discovered by Chadwick.

Which particles account for most of the atoms mass?
Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass
Most of the atom's positive charge and almost all of its mass is located in this region of the atom?
The nucleus.
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 parts of an atom makes up all the mass of an atom?
The nucleus is the part of an atom that contains practically all its mass. In the nucleus, you can find the proton and neutron. The number of electrons, which move about the nucleus, is equal to the number of protons.
Where is almost of all of the mass of an atom located?
It is in the nucleus. Electrons are very small
Why atomic mass is concentrated on the center of the atom?
The atom is essentially made out of two main components: the nucleus and the electrons. The nucleus is in the centre of the atom whilst the electrons orbit it from a distance. The mass of the electrons is almost negligible, being almost 2000 times smaller than a proton, which is part of the nucleus. The nucleus, whilst having a minute mass, is still many times greater than the electrons. This is why the mass is concentrated in the centre on the nucleus.
