Atomic Mass Unit

What is a 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.

Origin of the atomic mass unit

Introduced to give atomic and molecular masses convenient numerical values.

Where it is used

Atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics and chemistry.

When and where it was developed

The unified (carbon-12) scale was adopted by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.

Point (1/100 carat)

What is a point (1/100 carat)?

A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.

Origin of the point (1/100 carat)

A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.

Where it is used

The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.

When and where it was developed

Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.

Atomic Mass Unit to Point (1/100 carat) conversion formula

The relationship between atomic mass unit and points (1/100 carat):

1 u = 8.302701e-22 pt
1 pt = 1.204427e+21 u

To convert atomic mass unit to points (1/100 carat), multiply the value in atomic mass unit by 8.302701e-22. To reverse, multiply points (1/100 carat) by 1.204427e+21.
