Protons and neutrons are not included in Lewis electron dot diagrams because these diagrams focus specifically on the valence electrons of an atom, which are crucial for understanding chemical bonding and reactivity. Protons, being positively charged, contribute to the atomic number and identity of the element, while neutrons are neutral and contribute to the Atomic Mass. The Lewis structure emphasizes the arrangement and sharing of electrons between atoms rather than the nucleus or the overall atomic structure.

Why is the mass of an atoms electrons not included in the atoms mass number?

Mass number is defined as the number of protons and neutrons. It is related to Atomic Mass which incudes electron mass and nuclear binding energy , (binding energy reduces the overall mass relative to the combined masses of the protons and neutrons.) Electron mass is not included as mass number is element specific wheras the count of electrons varies depending on the chemical state. The mass of electrons is negligible compared to the mass of the protons and neutrons, binding energy is a larger effect.
