Answer:

Electrons in an atom make up most of the volume of the atom, while the protons and neutrons make up nearly all of the mass of the atom.

Explanation:

<u>Most of the mass of an atom comes from its nucleus, in which protons and neutrons are found</u>, both of these particles have approximately the same mass.

The atom is also composed of electrons rotating in orbitals around the nucleus, and they have little mass compared to a proton or neutron. But despite being much lighter than the particles in the nucleus, <u>the electron cloud occupies most of the space or volume of the atom.</u>
