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.

Muon Mass

The muon is an elementary particle similar to the electron but heavier. Its rest mass is approximately 1.884 × 10⁻²⁸ kilograms (or about 105.7 MeV/c² in energy units).

Muons are unstable and decay into electrons and neutrinos but play a key role in particle physics and cosmic ray interactions.

Summary:

• 
  

  Rest mass ≈ 1.884 × 10⁻²⁸ kg

  
  
• 
  

  Equivalent to about 105.7 MeV/c²

  
  
• 
  

  Heavier cousin of the electron in particle physics
