The atomic mass unit (amu) is a unit of measurement for the masses of atoms, molecules, and elementary particles. For the atomic mass unit, 1/12 of the mass of the 12C carbon nuclide is taken. The mass of this nuclide in SI units is 1.9927 x 10-26 kg. 1 amu = 1/12 m = (1.9927 x10-26) / 12 = 1.6606 x 10-27kg.
