exact 12 u In nuclear physics, a unit used for measurement of mass is unified atomic mass unit, which is denoted by u. It is defined such that 1 u = $\frac{1}{12}$ xx (Mass of neutral carbon atom in its ground state) Mass of neutral carbon atom in its ground state = 12 $\times$ 1 u = 12 u Thus, the mass of neutral carbon atom in its ground state is exactly 12 u.
