Interpretation :
The subatomic particles of atoms contributing the maximum to an atom’s mass are to be determined. Also, the subatomic particles determining the chemical properties of an atom are also to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
An atom has protons, neutron, and electron as the subatomic particle. The nucleus of an atom has two main subatomic particles, protons, and neutrons. The protons and electrons are electrically charged but neutrons are neutral.

Answer to Problem 54A
The number of neutrons and protons contributing to the atom’s mass.
The subatomic particle of an atom is representing the chemical properties is a proton.
Explanation of Solution
The atom is made up of three particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of neutrons and electrons present in an atom gives the information about the specific elements, where the neutrons term is related to the neutral character of neutrons, and protons are related to the positive charge.
Mass number = number of protons+ number of neutrons
For the mass number of an atom, there is two subatomic particles required that is protons and neutrons. The chemical properties are depending on the number of protons present in the atom.
The element is made up of a similar type of atom, the atom consists of three subatomic particles namely neutron, protons, and electron. Here, two subatomic particles are contributing to the
