when compared to the mass of protons and neutrons, the mass of the electrons is negligible and hence not included in atomic mass.
electron
Most of the mass of a potassium atom is located in its nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. The electrons in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus have significantly less mass compared to the nucleus.
The mass of an electron is atomic mass units is 5,485 799 090 70(16); the mass of the electron is not an atomic mass.
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.
The electron has no atomic mass number. The mass of an electron is roughly 1/1800 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
An electron has a much smaller mass than any atom.

The atomic mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. It does not include the number of electrons, which are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
The effective mass of an electron in a material is different from its mass in vacuum because in a material, the electron interacts with the surrounding atoms and lattice structure, causing its motion to be influenced by these interactions. This results in an effective mass that can be greater or lesser than the electron's mass in vacuum.
Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.
its because i really dont know
Size on the scale of atoms is very hard to define. The electron has zero mass. Quarks have varying amounts of mass.
Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass at roughly 1.008 grams per mol (6.02x10^23 atoms)
i dont know the answer
