Well, this is simply the mass of atomic particles...

Explanation:

And we can define that #"1 amu"# as the mass possessed by ONE protium atom, i.e. #""^1H#. And #"Avogadro's number"# of #""^1H# ATOMS have a mass of #1*g#..

And #"Avogadro's number"-=6.022xx10^23*mol^-1# ...we use the #"mole"# as the link between the world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and kilograms...
