About Atomic Mass Unit (u)
The atomic mass unit (unified) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, approximately 1.661 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
1 u = 1.6605390666 × 10⁻²⁷ kg = 1/Nₐ grams ≈ 931.494 MeV/c².
To convert u to kg: multiply by 1.6605390666 × 10⁻²⁷. To convert u to MeV/c²: multiply by 931.494.
Molecular weight calculations, mass spectrometry data interpretation, and chemical stoichiometry.
A proton has a mass of ~1.007 u, a neutron ~1.009 u. The discrepancy from 1.000 reflects nuclear binding energy.
Confusing 'amu' (the old, obsolete term) with 'u' (the unified standard). Also, forgetting that 1 u ≠ 1 gram.
Think of u as 'approximately the mass of one proton or neutron.' Carbon-12 = 12 u exactly (by definition).
