Question: Recall where most of the mass of an atom is located.
Most of the mass of an atom is located in its nucleus. The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, which are collectively known as nucleons. Protons and neutrons have significantly more mass compared to electrons, which orbit the nucleus. Therefore, the nucleus contains nearly all the atom's mass, while the electrons contribute very little to the overall mass of the atom.
