Solution

An atom's mass number is determined by the number of nucleons in its nucleus. The term "nucleons" refers to both protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. So, the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Electrons do not contribute significantly to the mass of an atom because their mass is much smaller than that of protons and neutrons.
