Answer:

It contains most of the mass of the atom.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nucleus of an atom contains the protons and neutrons. The electrons revolve around the nucleus and they have very small masses ( the mass of an electron is about 9.1x10^-31kg) when compared with the mass of the protons and neutrons. The nucleus is the massive part of an atom.
