Mass of atom is determined by

  1. A
    Proton + Neutron
  2. B
    Proton + electron
  3. C
    Neutron + Electron
  4. D
    Proton + Neutron + Electron

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The mass of an atom is almost completely concentrated in its nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons (collectively known as nucleons). Electrons have a negligible mass ( of the mass of a proton) and therefore do not significantly contribute to the overall atomic mass.
