An atomic mass unit (symbolized
AMU or amu) is defined as
precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom
of carbon -12.The carbon -12 (C-12)
atom has six protons and six
neutrons in its nucleus.
The AMU is used to express the
relative masses of, and thereby
differentiate between, various
isotopes of elements.
Also Known As: unified atomic
mass unit (u), Dalton (Da), universal
mass unit, either amu or AMU is an
acceptable acronym for atomic
mass unit
The "unified atomic mass unit" is a
physical constant that is accepted
for use in the SI measurement
system.
