A dalton, also called the unified atomic mass unit, equals 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom and is used to express atomic and molecular masses.

Why convert daltons to neutron mass?

Converting daltons to neutron mass helps relate atomic masses to nuclear constants, useful in nuclear physics and astrophysics calculations.

Are dalton and neutron mass values exact?

No, both values are approximations with inherent uncertainty, especially the neutron mass which has measurement variability.
