What is atomic mass unit (dalton)?
Atomic mass unit is a special unit of mass that is used for atomic or molecular scale. It can be abbreviated as AMU. It is also can be called as dalton.
An atomic mass unit equals 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. We can say that one atomic mass number equals the average rest mass of a proton and neutron.
One AMU approximately equals 1.67377 x 10 -27 kilogram (kg). The main use of AMU is to express the relative mass of different isotopes of elements such as uranium-235 (U-235) and uranium-238 (U-238).
