Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it is not 'formed' by scientists.

Mass is solidified energy as Einstein describes E=MC2

The Higgs particle is supposed to impart mass to matter.

Scientists first measure the mass of the substance. They also know beforehand (from previous experiments) the exact mass of individual particles (molecule or atom) and hence can count the number of particles in the given substance by dividing the total mass of the substance taken by mass of individual particle.

What is relative atomic mass and atomic mass amu?

The relative atomic mass was first proposed by John Dalton in 1803. According to it, the mass of an atom was expressed relative to the mass of one 1H atom. The unit was later changed to 1/16 of the mass of an oxygen atom. However, this measure was discarded when 17O and 18O were discovered. In 1961 the basic unit was changed (once again) to 1/12 of the mass of a 12C atom. The mass of any atom or molecule is measured in atomic mass units (AMU) and the units is defined as 1/12 the mass of a 12Carbon atom.


What is the difference between atomic mass and relative atomic mass?

Atomic mass is the measure of a mass of one atom in relation to 1/12 mass of Carbon 12 atom and measured in atomic mass unit(amu) or Dalton unit or grams/mol.Relative atomic mass is also the relative mass but does not have a unit but a ratio number.
