The benefits of developing this unit as the standard unit of mass is endless. First, expressing extremely small masses in scientific notation was very hard and bothersome. This unit known, as the amu, takes such tasks away from the scientist. Also, the amu helps you use uneven numbers more effectively. This unit reduced the work the scientist had to do and made it easier for other scientists and us to understand

It is amu or AMU.


What is the significance of "da" in chemistry and how does it relate to the measurement of atomic mass?

In chemistry, "da" stands for Dalton, a unit used to measure atomic mass. It represents the mass of one atomic particle, which is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron. The atomic mass of an element is measured in Daltons, which helps scientists determine the relative mass of different atoms and molecules.


Platinum atomic mass?

When measuring mass, you need a unit of measurement, not a dimensionless number. In the case of an atom, you would use atomic mass units. Platinum weighs a lot more than 3.25 atomic mass units. It is a heavy metal.

What Atomic mass of Earth?

The atomic mass of Earth is not a standard measurement, as Earth is composed of various elements with different atomic masses. However, if you consider the average atomic mass of the elements that make up Earth, it can be estimated around 29 atomic mass units (amu), primarily due to the abundance of oxygen, silicon, and iron. This is a conceptual average rather than a precise figure, as the actual mass of Earth is approximately 5.97 × 10^24 kilograms.


How is the atomic mass of each element on the periodic table calculate?

The atomic mass listed on most periodic tables is actually the average atomic mass representing the average atomic masses of the various isotopes of an element depending on their percent natural abundance.
