In science the basic unit is the atom which is composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons. Electrons are generally considered to small to count as part of the mass. Atomic Mass is the sum of neutrons and protons. For example: Oxygen has 6 protons and, in its natural state, 6 neutrons. This means that its atomic mass is 12.
