Atomic mass is the measure of a mass of one atom in relation to 1/12 mass of Carbon 12 atom and measured in atomic mass unit(amu) or Dalton unit or grams/mol.Relative atomic mass is also the relative mass but does not have a unit but a ratio number.
expressed in unified atomic mass unit, amuHowever, for practical purposes in the laboratory the relative atomic mass is used so the unit would be gram. (Relative atomic mass compares the mass of all elements to that of the carbon-12 isotope taken as exactly 12)
Atomic mass is measured in a unit called an "atomic mass unit". This unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom at ground state.An atomic mass unit is approximately 1.66053886 x 10-27 kg.Atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and Daltons.
The relative mass of a neutron compared with a proton is one.
Relative atomic mass (RAM) has no unit, it's just a set of numbers, one for each element
relative Atomic Mass
relative atomic mass
The atomic mass unit is not a SI unit. An atomic mass unit is equal to 1/12 from the atomic mass of the isotope 12C.
the relative atomic mass for the element potassium is 39.0983
Atomic mass unit
All atomic masses are determined by comparing them to the mass of an atom of carbon12. One atomic mass unit equals one twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon12. That's why its called relativeatomic mass.
The atomic mass unit is used to express the measure of the atomic mass.
