There are a number of particles of particularly low mass. Electrons have much less mass than either protons or neutrons, and so are negligible in calculating the mass of an atom. However, electrons are still much heavier than neutrinos or photons, which are even more negligible in mass.
What else can I help you with?
What atomic mass does a beta particle have?
A beta particle, which can be either an electron (β-) or a positron (β+), has a very small atomic mass of approximately 0.00054858 atomic mass units (amu) for an electron. This is significantly less than the atomic masses of protons and neutrons, which are about 1 amu each. In practical terms, the mass of a beta particle is often considered negligible compared to nucleons in atomic nuclei.
What atomic particle that is negatively charged?
This is the particle in an orbital in the space around the atoms nucleus and it is called an electron.
What particle contributes to the atomic number?
Number of protons are taken. They are arranged by number of protons. Mendeleev arranged elements first according to atomic number
The neutral particle of an atom weighing approximately one atomic mass unit?
This atomic particle is the neutron.
A neutral atomic particle called a proton?
A neutral atomic particle is called a proton. This is taught in science.

What is the atomic mass-?
The atomic mass is the mass of a molecule, atomic particle or sub-atomic particle.
Which atomic particle has an atomic mass of one amu but no net charge?
This atomic particle is the neutron.
Subatomic particle that contributes mass and a positive electrical charge to an atom?
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
What happens to an atom in terms of atomic mass and weight when it loses one particle?
If an atom looses an electron, neither the atomic mass nor atomic weight change appreciatively. If it looses a proton or neutron, both atomic mass and atomic weight decrease by one and it becomes an atom of a different element (on loss of a proton), or a different isotope of the same element (upon loss of a neutron).
An atomic particle that is positively charged?
This particle is the proton.
What atomic particle that is negatively charged?
This is the particle in an orbital in the space around the atoms nucleus and it is called an electron.
What particle contributes to the atomic number?

A neutral atomic particle called a proton?
A neutral atomic particle is called a proton. This is taught in science.
The neutral particle of an atom weighing approximately one atomic mass unit?
This atomic particle is the neutron.
The Subatomic Particle That Has No Charge?
In the atomic nucleus this particle is the neutron.
What do you call the particle that orbits an atomic nucleus?
That particle is an electron.
