The mass of an atom is primarily affected by its protons and neutrons, which are collectively known as nucleons. Protons contribute positively to the mass, while neutrons have a slightly greater mass but are neutral. Electrons, being much lighter, have a negligible effect on the overall mass of the atom. Therefore, the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus determines the Atomic Mass.
What else can I help you with?
What is the smallest part of the atom that has almost no mass?
The smallest part of an atom would be a quark. Quarks are either up or down quarks, and have virtually no mass. Neutrinos have even less mass, but are not part of an atom.
The part of the atom that is small and dense is?
The nucleus is the small and dense center of an atom. It contains protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles that make up the majority of the atom's mass.
Which subatomic particles found in the larger part of an atom?
the subatomic particles, protons and neutrons, form the nucleus.
What part of an Adam has the least mass?
The part of an atom with the least mass is the electron. Electrons are subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus and have a very small mass compared to protons and neutrons, which make up the nucleus. While protons and neutrons have similar masses and are significantly heavier, the mass of an electron is about 1/1836 that of a proton. This negligible mass contributes to the overall mass of the atom, but it is the lightest component.
Is electron a atom?
No, an electron is a subatomic particle. Electrons are a part of atoms.

What is a similarity between a proton and an electron?
electrons are on the outside and don't count as part of the atomic mass. Protons do count as part of the mass and are inside the atom.
Which subatomic particles found in the larger part of an atom?
the subatomic particles, protons and neutrons, form the nucleus.

What does a neutron mean?
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It has no electric charge and is about the same mass as a proton. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus of an atom, preventing it from breaking apart.
What is the small part of an atom?
the small part of an atom is a subatomic particle so that's what my science teacher says your welcome :)
What part of the atom is small?
the small part of an atom is a subatomic particle so that's what my science teacher says your welcome :)
Is electron a atom?
No, an electron is a subatomic particle. Electrons are a part of atoms.
What do proton neutron and electrons have in common?
All part of an atom or are subatomic particles
Part of an atom that has least mass?
Electrons have the least mass of the three main subatomic particles found in an atom (protons, neutrons, and electrons). They have a mass that is approximately 1/1836 times that of a proton or neutron.
What are properties that vary among subatomic particles?
The atom is the smallest part of matter that represents a particular element. For quite a while, the atom was thought to be the smallest part of matter that could exist. But in the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th, scientists discovered that atoms are composed of certain subatomic particles and that, no matter what the element, the same subatomic particles make up the atom. The number of the various subatomic particles is the only thing that varies. Scientists now recognize that there are many subatomic particles (this really makes physicists salivate). But in order to be successful in chemistry, you really only need to be concerned with the three major subatomic particles: Protons Neutrons Electrons
