Chemistry
1 answer:
MrMuchimi3 years ago
4 0

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.
