What is the difference between atomic mass and atomic mass unit?
The atomic mass unit is used to express the measure of the atomic mass.
What is an amu and does it relate to atoms?
AMU stands for atomic mass unit. 1 amu is 1.66053892 times 10 up to the negative 27 kilograms.
What is the unit of atomic mass called and what is its symbol?
atomic mass unit (short: a.m.u.), symbol 'u', equiv. with (in S.I. units) 1.66054*10-27kg
Why is the atomic mass scale also called the relative atomic mass scale?
All atomic masses are determined by comparing them to the mass of an atom of carbon12. One atomic mass unit equals one twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon12. That's why its called relativeatomic mass.
What is one twelfth of the mass of the carbon 12 atom?
the answer is the atomic mass unit
Is atomic mass unit is SI unit of atomic mass?
No, the SI unit of mass is still the kilogram. However, the AMU has been accepted as a suitable standard unit.
How are the atomic mass unit and the atomic mass related?
because they are the sameAdded:Atomic mass is the quantitive propertie of the mass of an atom,the atomic mass unit is the (standard) UNIT by which it is measured:1 a.m.u. = 1.66*10-27 kg
What is the standard on which the amu is made?
The atomic mass unit uses carbon-12 as a standard. The atomic mass unit is one twelfth of the mass of one atom of the isotope carbon-12.
Standard for the atomic mass unit?
A Carbon Twelth
Relative atomic masses are measured in?
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.
Is atomic mass unit a SI unit of an atomic mass?
The atomic mass unit is not a SI unit. An atomic mass unit is equal to 1/12 from the atomic mass of the isotope 12C.
What is the unit of measurement use for atomic particles?
Atomic mass unit
Standared for the atomic mass unit?
The standard a.m.u. is 1/12th of the mass of a Carbon 12 nuclide.
What is the difference between atomic mass and atomic mass unit?
The atomic mass unit is used to express the measure of the atomic mass.
The standard unit of length in the metric system is called what?
The standard unit of length in the metric system is called the meter. The standard unit of mass is the kilogram.
What is an amu and does it relate to atoms?
AMU stands for atomic mass unit. 1 amu is 1.66053892 times 10 up to the negative 27 kilograms.
What is the unit for the mass of atomic particles?
Atomic Mass Unit (amu)
