The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom is called mass number.
the electron particles make up the mostr mass
The answer depends on the atom! The total number of subatomic particles in an atom of an isotope is the sum of the mass number and the atomic number of the isotope; the mass number counts the protons and neutrons together, and the atomic number recounts the number of protons, which in a neutral atom must be the same as the number of protons.
Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass
Protons and neutrons, the particles that make up atomic nuclei, are the ones responsible for almost all of the mass of an atom. As the electron has less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton, a whole flock of electrons won't significantly change the mass of an atom. We look to the protons and neutrons (called nucleons when they are being considered as components of an atomic nucleus) to contribute to the mass of an atom, and they will be considered when we derive the atom weight of an element.
The particles are protons, neutrons, and the nucleus inside of the atom Nice helping u >_<

The number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
Protons plus the neutrons
Protons, neutrons and electrons.
The protons and the neutrons, because those are the only particles in the atom that contain quarks.
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
protons and nuetrons
These particles are protons and neutrons.

the electron particles make up the mostr mass
Virtually all of the mass of an atom is carried by the proton and the neutron. The electron has very, very little mass relative to these two particles.
