атомдық масса бірлігі (u, далтон)
The masses of atoms and molecules are generally given in atomic mass units. These units are based on a scale in which the mass of carbon 12 is taken to be 12. Atomic masses were originally given as atomic weights on a scale where the mass of the hydrogen atom was unity, later they were based on oxygen or oxygen 16; these scales have all been replaced by the carbon 12 scale.
