a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equal to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

Answer 2

Required Answer :

• The dalton or unified atomic mass unit is a unit of mass widely used in physics and chemistry.

• It is defined as 1/12 of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state and at rest.

• The atomic mass constant, denoted mᵤ is defined identically, giving mᵤ = m/12 = 1 Da.
