Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons.
The nucleus of the atom contains protons and neutrons.
The electrons are found at large distances from the nucleus.
Virtually all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus because the electrons hardly weigh anything.
The masses and charges are measured relative to each other because the actual values are incredibly small. For example, it would take about 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 protons to weigh just 1 gram.
