ANSWER
An atomic mass (symbol: ma) is the mass of a single atom of a chemical element. It includes the masses of the 3 subatomic particles that make up an atom: protons, neutrons and electron.
VALUE
Instead, atomic mass is expressed in unified atomic mass units (unit symbol: u). 1 atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom.[1]:18 1 u has a value of 1.660 539 066 60(50) × 10−27 kg.[2]
EXAMPLE
A carbon-12 atom has a mass of 12 u. Because electrons are so light, we can say that the mass of a carbon-12 atom is made of 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
atomic mass of hydrogen is1.0074 u
