The up and down quark accounts for most of an atoms mass. Two up quarks and one down quark forms a proton, and one up quark and two down quarks forms a neutron. Protons and neutrons form the nuclei of atoms, and comprise most of their mass, along with the binding energy holding them all together.

What units do scientists use in order to measure mass of atoms in their subatomic particles?

Scientists use atomic mass units (amu) or unified atomic mass units (u) to measure the mass of atoms and their subatomic particles. These units are based on the mass of a carbon-12 atom and are commonly used in the field of nuclear and particle physics.
