1 atomic mass unit = 1.66053886 × 10-27 kilograms-Greg
Electrons do have a net charge of negative one. Their mass, however, is only a fraction of 1 atomic mass unit, specifically, 1/1836 amu.
Protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom, have masses of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu), with protons having a mass of about 1.007 amu and neutrons about 1.008 amu. Electrons are significantly smaller, with a mass of about 0.0005 amu, or roughly 1/1836 of a proton's mass. In terms of size, protons and neutrons are roughly 1 femtometer (10^-15 meters) in diameter, while electrons are often considered point-like particles with no defined size.
38 amu EDIT: This answer is INCORRECT. Electrons do not have significant mass.
A helium atom consists of two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus, surrounded by two electrons in orbitals. Protons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu) and a charge of +1, while neutrons also have a mass of about 1 amu but carry no charge. Electrons have a negligible mass (approximately 1/1836 amu) and a charge of -1. Thus, the overall charge of a neutral helium atom is zero, balancing the positive charges of the protons with the negative charges of the electrons.
The mass doesn't change because electrons are so light that its mass is not included in the AMU.proton = 1 amuneutron = 1 amuelectron = ~1/1837 amu

neutrons and protonsbut NOT electrons (the almost have no mass)
One proton (at rest) has a.m.u. of 1.007276 which is 1.67262*10-27 kg
Negligible. The mass of an electron is around 1/1840 of an amu, so the 18 electrons in a water molecule contribute a little under 0.01 amu to the total mass of the molecule.

There is no fixed number of atoms in 1 atomic mass unit (1 amu) because an atomic mass unit is a unit for measuring the mass of an individual atom. The mass of an atom is determined by the total number of protons, neutrons, and electrons it contains.

Protons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu) and a charge of +1, while neutrons also have a mass of about 1 amu but carry no charge.
