Atomic Mass is measured in a unit called an "atomic mass unit". This unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom at ground state.
An atomic mass unit is approximately 1.66053886 x 10-27 kg.
Atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and Daltons.
Atomic mass is measured in a unit called an atomic mass unit. (a.m.u. or Dalton is used for short)

Yes, relative atomic masses are expressed in atomic mass units
Mass of atom is measured in 'atomic mass unit (or amu)'.

Carbon-12 is used as the standard by which the atomic masses of other nuclides are measured.
John Dalton tried to work out the relative masses of atoms; but his calculations were wrong, although the principle was correct. He was, however, the first to establish a table of atomic masses with hydrogen, the lightest atom, as the standard.
Add the atomic masses of each element present. It would be atomic mass of Mg + 2x atomic mass of oxygen + 2x atomic mass of hydrogen.
because atoms from each element is different. relative masses of atoms is like their identity. it gives information on their weight, their density, their number of subatomic particles(protons and neutrons) and etc, etc. most importantly, relative masses of atoms allows chemist worldwide to accurately communicate with each other the amount as well as the composition of compound used in their reactions.
The chemical formula of Sodium Hypochlorite is NaClO. Relative atomic masses: Sodium: 22.989769 Chlorine: 35.453 Oxygen: 15.9994 Totalling these: 22.989769 + 35.453 + 15.9994 = 74.442169 Relative molecular mass of Sodium Hypochlorite is: 74.44 to two significant figures.
true
Carbon-12 is used as the standard by which the atomic masses of other nuclides are measured.
They are called relative masses because all of the masses of the elements are measured relative to the mass of an isotope of carbon called carbon-12. Carbon-12 has been assigned a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units. One atomic mass unit has an actual value of 1.660538782(83)×10^−27 kg.
Yes it is true.
Carbon 12
Because relitive atomic masses are NEVER whole numbers.
John Dalton tried to work out the relative masses of atoms; but his calculations were wrong, although the principle was correct. He was, however, the first to establish a table of atomic masses with hydrogen, the lightest atom, as the standard.
The relative atomic masses are:calcium: 40.078 scandium: 44.956 titanium: 47.867
The atomic weight (not mass) of any element is determined taking into account the isotopic composition and the atomic masses of these isotopes.
The relative atomic mass is the mean mass of the isotopes of an element. Since, by definition, these have different numbers of neutrons, their masses are different. This results in fractional values.
The unit is such that the isotope Carbon 12 is exactly 12 by definition.
The atomic weight of an element is derived from the atomic masses of the isotopes of this element and from the percentage of these isotopes. The correct terms are: - atomic weight for elements - atomic mass for an isotope
