What is the Deuteron mass?

The Deuteron mass is the rest mass of the deuteron nucleus, consisting of one proton and one neutron, and is slightly less than their combined masses due to binding energy.

Why convert Deuteron mass to atomic mass unit [u]?

Converting Deuteron mass to atomic mass units standardizes nuclear mass measurements and facilitates comparisons with atomic and molecular masses in scientific research.

Can this conversion be used for bulk mass measurements?

No, this conversion is specific to nuclear and atomic scale masses and should not be applied to bulk or macroscopic mass conversions.
