Units explained
Ounce
The (avoirdupois) ounce (oz) equals one-sixteenth of a pound, about 28.35 grams.
From Latin 'uncia', meaning a twelfth part.
US food portions, postal weights, and boxing weight classes.
Standardized as 1/16 of the international pound from 1959.
Atomic Mass Unit
One unified atomic mass unit (u) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, about 1.6605E-27 kg.
Introduced to give atomic and molecular masses convenient numerical values.
Atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics and chemistry.
The unified (carbon-12) scale was adopted by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.
