Atomic Mass Unit [u]

The atomic mass unit (u), also known as the unified atomic mass unit or dalton (Da), is a standard unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights.

• 
  

  1 u = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom

  
  
• 
  

  1 u ≈ 1.66053906660 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: u or Da

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used to measure the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles

  
  
• 
  

  1 hydrogen atom ≈ 1 u

  
  
• 
  

  Mass of a proton ≈ 1.007 u, neutron ≈ 1.008 u

  Simplifies comparison of atomic-scale masses in chemistry and physics

  
  

The atomic mass unit provides a convenient and consistent way to express and compare very small masses at the atomic and molecular scale.

Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)

The gerah was the smallest unit of weight in ancient Biblical Hebrew measurement systems. It is traditionally considered 1/20 of a shekel.

Since a shekel weighed about 11 grams, a gerah would weigh roughly 0.55 grams. The gerah was used to measure small amounts of precious metals like silver and gold, important in commerce and religious rituals.

Summary:

• 
  

  1 gerah = 1/20 shekel ≈ 0.55 grams
