Nearly all of the mass of an atom comes from what location?
nucleus
electron cloud
neutrons only
protons only
What is the volume of an atom mostly composed of?
protons
the nucleus where protons and neutrons are found

How does the size of an electron compare to a proton?
electrons are about 2000 times larger than a proton so they make up most of the mass of atoms
electrons are about 1800 times smaller so we consider them insignificant to the overall mass of the atom
electrons are nearly the same size as a proton
electrons have no size
