Definition of an ‘Atomic mass unit’
1/12 of the mass of one atom of Carbon-12
Definition of ‘Relative Atomic mass’
Ratio of the average mass of one atom of the element to 1/12th of the mass of one atom of Carbon-12
Definition of ‘Relative Molecular mass’
Is the ratio of the average mass of that molecule to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of Carbon-12
