What Is an Atom?
How much do you weigh? No need to answer out loud, but whatever the answer, I am sure the amount was expressed in pounds or kilograms. What are you made of? You may answer organs, blood, or bones. The simplest answer, however, is atoms and molecules. An atom is the smallest constituent of a chemical element that has all the properties of an element. Atoms comprise every single piece of matter. From your sofa to the sandwich you ate yesterday, atoms in multiple combinations, or molecules, are all around us. But how is the mass of an atom expressed? In this lesson, we will learn more about atomic mass units.
Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)
The periodic table of elements contains every atom known to mankind. Each unique atom has a unique atomic number and atomic mass. The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the mass of the atom, which is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. The atomic mass of an element is expressed in atomic mass units. Atomic mass units are described as a unit of measurement for atoms and molecules, just like the mass of a person may be expressed in pounds or kilograms. Hydrogen, for example, is the first element on the periodic table and has an atomic number of 1 and an atomic mass of 1.00794 amu, or atomic mass units.
AMU Standard
According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), 1 atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 the mass of carbon-12. Therefore, carbon-12 has a mass of 12 amu. Carbon-12 is the most abundant isotope of carbon. An isotope is two or more elements with the same number of protons (atomic numb
