when compared to the mass of protons and neutrons, the mass of the electrons is negligible and hence not included in atomic mass.

How many atoms have in atomic mass number?

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.


Why the effective mass of an electron is different than it mass in vacuum?

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.


Is the Mass of hydrogen atom is about the same as a proton?

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.
