There is nothingwith a mass of exactly 1 a.m.u.
The a.m.u. is defined by Carbon 12 having exactly 12 a.m.u s, and it is the only isotope with an exactly integral number of them.
Having said that, Hydrogen is pretty close to 1 a.m.u.
an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
The electron has a charge of -1; but the electron has a mass.
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 mass of tritium (T) can be calculated by adding the masses of its constituents. The mass of a proton is approximately 1.0073 amu, the mass of a neutron is approximately 1.0087 amu, and the mass of an electron is negligible. So, the mass of tritium would be approximately 3.016 amu.
An electron has a mass of about 0.00054858 atomic mass units (amu) or approximately 1/1836 of a proton or neutron.

an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
No, it's about 1/2000th of an amu (atomic mass unit). Protons and neutrons are 1 amu.
The equivalent is 0,6.10e24 amu.
In the atom: Neutron: Mass: 1,00866491600(43) amu. Electron: Mass: 5,4857990946(22)×10−4 amu. Proton: Mass: 1,007276466812(90) amu.
1 over 1,836 AMUAnother answerIt's negligible. It has such a low amu that it is not a factor of the overall atomic mass of an atom
The electron - both neutrons and protons weigh one amu, but the mass of an electron is negligible.
The electron has a charge of -1; but the electron has a mass.
A beta particle is an electron, this has a mass much less than a proton or neutron and so was can use zero in most situations. However in some calculations for mass defect of whole atoms and Q-value calculations in nuclear decays it can become important, in these calculations. An electron has a mass of 511 keV/(c^2), and an AMU is 931 MeV/(c^2). So, dividing the electron mass by the AMU mass, we get the mass of the beta in AMU: 511/931000 = 0.00055 AMU.
Proton: 1.007276466812(90) amu. Neutron: 1.00866491600(43) amu. Electron: 5,857990946(22)×10−4 amu.
The mass number of an electron is 5.485 799 095 x 10-4 amu.
