Question

What is meant by 1 u or 1 amu?

  1. 1/12th mass of carbon-12 atom
  2. Mass of H atom
  3. Mass of C atom
  4. Mass of O atom

hintHint:

One atomic mass unit (1u) is a mass unit equal to exactly one-twelfth (1/12th) the mass of one atom of carbon-12 isotope.

The correct answer is: 1/12th mass of carbon-12 atom


    One atomic mass unit (1u) is a mass unit equal to exactly one-twelfth (1/12th) the mass of one atom of carbon-12 isotope.
    The symbol for the unit is u (unified atomic mass unit) or Da (Dalton), although amu may still be used.
    1 amu = 1.67377 x 10 -27 kilogram or 1.67377 x 10 -24 gram. 1amu = 1.662 x 10-24g.
