To answer your question:

Most of the mass is concentrated in the nucleus. The nucleus is made up of neutrons and protons. Outside the nucleus is where the electrons stay. the neutrons and protons are the heaviest of the three types of particles, and the electrons are nearly weightless. the majority of the mass is concentrated in the nucleus.
