Protons and neutrons have a mass of approximately 1 amu (atomic mass unit). The electrons way so little that we usually do not count their mass. To find the Atomic Mass, you need to add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom.
Proton: 1,007 276 466 77(10) atomic mass units (u)
Neutron: 1,008 664 915 6 (6) atomic mass units (u)
Electron: 5,485 799 094 3(23).10-4 atomic mass units (u)
proton mass = 1.00727638 amu = 1.6726 x 10-27 kg
neutron mass = 1.0086649156 amu = 1.6749 x 10-27 kg
Measured in amu (Atomic Mass Units):
Neutron: 1.008664916
Proton: 1.007276466812
Widely accepted as both being 1 amu
mass of a proton = 1.672622 x 10−27 kg
mass of a neutron = 1.674927× 10−27 kg
protons an neutrons masses are so close that they are usually considered to have the same mass.
Protons and neutrons are sub atomic particles. They are in the nucleus of an atom. The mass of both protons and neutrons is the atomic mass.
Proton: 1,007 276 466 77(10) atomic mass units (u)
Neutron: 1,008 664 915 6 (6) atomic mass units (u)
Electron: 5,485 799 094 3(23).10-4 atomic mass units (u)
Depends on what kinda atom it is
12u
Most of the mass in an atom is found in the nucleus, which contains the protons and neutrons.
the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Atomic mass is found by adding together the individual masses of the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. --> Atomic Mass = protons + neutrons
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
The number of protons
By the sum of protons and neutrons we obtain the mass number of the atom which is written at the top of the atom periodic number. We can also obtain the mass number by adding the atomic number and the number of neutrons because the atomic number and the number of protons are same. You know that scientists have discovered some particles which are smaller than protons and neutrons and these are known as quartz.

Protons, and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is the centre of an atom where most of the mass is found. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge.

An atom's mass is concentrated in its nucleus, which is located in the center of the atom. Protons and neutrons within the nucleus are responsible for its mass; the electrons, which are located outside of the nucleus, don't contribute to the mass of the atom.
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

The major contribution to the mass of an atom is from protons and neutrons; electrons have a known but negligible mass.
