...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).
The mass of electrons is not excluded from atomic mass. The mass number of an isotope of an element excludes electrons because it is the sum of protons and neutrons.From Wikipedia, "The atomic mass (ma) is the mass of a specific isotope, most often expressed in unified atomic mass units. The atomic mass is the total mass of protons, neutrons and electrons in a single atom."
electrons have negligible mass. the mass of the ion depends on how many protons and neutrons are present.
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
Electrons are very light. Protons are approx. 1800 X the mass (rest mass to be presice). Neutrons are about the same mass a protons. So the mass of all the electrons has little effect.
Actually, electrons do have mass.
because the electrons plus the nuetrons equal the mass

depends on the electrons
Yes, electrons have a mass of 9.1094 X 10−31 kg.
electrons are the same as protons

electrons have no mass
Of the neutron, proton, and electron, the electron has the smallest mass.
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
electrons are a 2000th of the mass of a proton/neutron. Because of this very low mass, electrons dont affect the mass number of elements on the periodic table
