A dalton, also known as unified atomic mass unit, is a mass unit equal to one twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom, often used in chemistry to express atomic and molecular masses.

What does electron mass (rest) mean?

Electron mass (rest) is the invariant mass of an electron measured at rest, representing its intrinsic mass commonly denoted as m_e.

Why convert daltons to electron mass (rest)?

Converting daltons to electron mass (rest) helps relate atomic and molecular masses to fundamental particle properties, useful in physics and chemistry calculations.
