AI Generated Solution

To solve the question "What is u?", we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define U U is defined as the atomic mass unit (AMU). It is a standard unit of mass that is used to express atomic and molecular weights. ### Step 2: Understand its Significance The atomic mass unit is particularly useful when dealing with very small masses, such as those of atoms, electrons, and protons. It provides a convenient way to compare the masses of different atomic particles. ...
