Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.
