Question
What is meant by Unified Atomic Mass?
Advertisements
Solution
- During earlier times, one way to determine an atom's mass directly was to evaluate its relative mass. However, relative mass is no longer recognized after creating a unified mass.
- Unified atomic mass is the unit of atomic mass called Dalton.
- Its symbol is ‘u’. 1u = 1.66053904 x 10-27 kg.
