<description>mass of Hydrogen atom --
This value is from the IUPAC and is a little smaller than MASS_PROTON + MASS_ELECTRON, but within the uncertainty given here. The current value is 1.008u +/- 0.0002 derived from a range of terrestrial materials. If this is for precision work, you had best understand what you're using.
