MCQ
Modern atomic mass scale is based on the mass of:
  • A
    H−1
  • B
    C−12
  • C
    C−14
  • D
    C−16

Answer

  1. C−12

Explanation:

Modern atomic weight scale is based on C−12.

The standard unit for expressing the mass of atom is amu (atomic mass unit).

It is equal to $\frac{1}{12}$ of the mass of an atom of carbon-12 equal to 1.6605×10−19g.

amu is also called as avogram.

Avogram is a unit of mass and weight equal to one gram divided by the Avogadro's number.
