Modern theories say that neutrinos have an unknown non zero mass probably less than 0.1 eV. The existence of neutrino oscillation proves that neutrinos cannot have an intrinsic mass of precisely zero.

No, the neutron is heavy (1.67492729(28)×10−27 Kg), its mass is almost equivalent to that of the proton ( 1.672621637(83)×10−27 Kg), while the electron is very light (9.10938215(45)×10−31 Kg), its mass is 1/1836 that of the proton.

Yes, neutrons have mass; they have approximately the same mass as protons (the difference is about 1 part in 1800, with the neutrons being the more massive of the two).

No. A neutron's mass must be accounted for in an equation.

atomic number is found by adding the number of protons and neutrons, electrons don't get added in. Atomic Mass is the mass, in grams, of 1 mole of an atom

What is a property of a neutron?

A neutron has a zero electric charge and has a mass slightly greater than that of a proton. A proton and an electron can be fused to create a neutron, and a neutron decays into a proton and an electron (and a bit of something else). More details about the neutron can be had by using the link to the Wikipedia article on this "building block" of the atom.

How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of the neutron?

The electron has only a small fraction of the mass of the neutron. The neutron is about 1837 times as massive as the electron. The proton is just a tiny bit less massive as the neutron, so the proton and neutron are said to have about the same amount of mass.
