Scientists express Atomic Mass in atomic mass units (amu) to provide a standardized way to compare the masses of atoms and molecules on a scale that is convenient for the size of subatomic particles. One atomic mass unit is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, making it easier to express and calculate the relative masses of different elements. Using amu allows for clearer communication in scientific literature and simplifies calculations in chemistry and physics.
What else can I help you with?
What do you use atomic mass units for?
The atomic mass unit is 1/12 from the mass of the isotope 12C.
What units do scientists use in order to measure mass of atoms in their subatomic particles?
Scientists use atomic mass units (amu) or unified atomic mass units (u) to measure the mass of atoms and their subatomic particles. These units are based on the mass of a carbon-12 atom and are commonly used in the field of nuclear and particle physics.
What is the atomic mass of neon'?
The approximate mass is 11. Technically you could express this in units of daltons as 11 Da (Daltons previously called amu, Atomic Mass unit, or as 11 (the dimensionless, relative atomic mass which chemists simply call atomic weight) .
What is the atomic mass of silver?
The atomic mass (or weight) of silver is 107.8682 amu (atomic mass units)
Do scientists use the symbol g to represent the atomic mass unit?
No. The symbol g represents a gram which is about 6.02x1023 times greater than an atomic mass unit. an atomic mass unit is represented as AMU or g/mol (grams per mole).
What is the approximate mass of an oxygen atom in atomic mass units?
The approximate mass of an oxygen atom in atomic mass units is 16. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which means that its atomic mass is approximately 16 atomic mass units.
What is the SI unit used to express the mass of atomic particles called?

What symbol do scientists use to represent atomic mass unit?
Scientists use the symbol "u" to represent atomic mass unit.
What is the atomic mass of colbat?
Cobalt is an atomic mass of 58.93 atomic mass units
