Question
multiple choice 1 point where is the majority of an atom’s mass located? evenly distributed throughout the atom in the nucleus in the electron cloud in the space between the protons and neutrons clear my selection
An atom consists of a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) and an electron cloud (containing electrons). Protons and neutrons have significant mass, while electrons have negligible mass. So the majority of an atom’s mass is in the nucleus. The other options are incorrect: mass isn’t evenly distributed, electrons (in the cloud) have little mass, and the space between protons/neutrons has no significant mass - containing particles.
