an electron
The atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one neutron or proton. An electron has a mass of approximately 1/2000 of an amu.
The relative mass of a neutron compared with a proton is one.
...electrons, as they account for a negligible mass relative to the atom as a whole (electrons make up 1/1840th of the total mass, to be precise).
Mass ratio proton (neutron)/electron: 1 836
1 proton and 1 neutron is needed because the 2 in hydrogen 2 refers to the atomic mass and protons and neutron have a mass of about 2 daltons each.
1 amu (atomic mass unit)
An Atom contains both Protons & Electrons, and sometimes even Neutrons. An Electron is about 1/1840th the mass of a Proton or a Neutron, so Atoms are definitely much heavier.

The mass of a proton or neutron is approximately 1 amu. The mass of an electron is about 1/1836th of an amu. In chemistry, the mass of electrons is usually treated as insignificant (certain very precise measurements can actually detect them, but treating the atom as if all its mass was in the nucleus is "good enough" for most purposes).

The value of the mass of a neutron is 1,6x10-27Kg or 0,0000000000000000000000000016Kg
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.
