Question: Why was carbon 16 chosen instead of hydrogen as the unit of atomic mass?
Asked by ali49
Carbon 16 was chosen instead of hydrogen as the unit of atomic mass because carbon is the most abundant element in the universe and its atomic mass is 16. Hydrogen, on the other hand, has an atomic mass of 1 and thus is not suitable for use as a unit of atomic mass.
