- The mass of an atom is called the atomic mass (ma or m).
- Although the kilogramme (symbol: kg) is the SI unit of mass, atomic mass is commonly stated in non-SI units such as the atomic mass unit (amu), unified mass (u), or dalton (symbol: Da), where 1 amu, 1 u, or 1 Da is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom at rest.
- The nucleus' protons and neutrons make up nearly all of an atom's total mass, with electrons and nuclear binding energy contributing only a small amount.
- As a result, when expressed in daltons, the numeric value of the atomic mass is almost identical to the mass number.
- The atomic mass constant may be used to convert weight in kilogrammes to weight in daltons.
