A unit of mass for elementary particles and atoms. The symbol is "u". The mass of one carbon-12 atom is 12.0, and 1/12 of that is 1u. This value is equivalent to approximately 1.66054× 10-27 kg. The mass of each atom is a relative value based on this standard. The average of the atomic mass values ​​of naturally occurring isotopes using their abundance rate is called the atomic weight of that atom, with the atomic weight of oxygen being 16.0 and that of nitrogen being 14.0.
