Question

12 dalton equals $(\frac{1}{12}{)}^{\text{th}}$ the weight of an atom of carbon 12.

• A. True
• B. Flase

Answer 1

The correct option is B Flase

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom expressed in atomic mass unit (amu). One amu (also called dalton) equals $(\frac{1}{12}{)}^{\text{th}}$ the weight of an atom of a carbon atom.
So 12 dalton is equal to the mass of a whole carbon 12 atom and not $(\frac{1}{12}{)}^{\text{th}}$ of it.
