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.


Si units used for the masses of atomic particles?

The atomic mass unit (u) or unified atomic mass unit (amu) is the standard unit used to measure the masses of atomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. 1 atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12th of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom.


What is the mass of the atom is so small that there is a measure calles the atomic?

The mass of an atom is so small that there is a unit called the atomic mass unit (amu) used to express it. One atomic mass unit is roughly equal to the mass of a proton or neutron, which are the subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. This unit is convenient for expressing the mass of atoms without dealing with very small numbers.
