Explanation:
An atomic mass is the mass of a single atom of a chemical element. It includes the masses of the 3 subatomic particles that make up an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons.
Atomic mass can be expressed in grams. However, because each atom has a very small mass, this is not very helpful. Instead, atomic mass is expressed in unified atomic mass units. 1 atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom.[1]:18 1 u has a value of 1.660538921(73) × 10−27 kg.
