The atomic mass unit (amu) is a unit of mass commonly used in chemistry and physics to express the mass of atomic and molecular particles. It is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which is approximately 1.66053906660 × 10^(-27) kilograms.
To convert amu to grams, you can use the conversion factor:
1 amu = 1.66053906660 × 10^(-24) grams
This means that there are approximately 1.66053906660 × 10^(-24) grams in one atomic mass unit.
