Units explained
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.
Point (1/100 carat)
A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.
A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.
The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.
Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.
