Explore the Atomic Mass Unit to Centigram Converter – a tool that effortlessly turns AMU measurements into CG units, sparking your curiosity about the simplicity of complex conversions.

What are Atomic Mass Unit and Centigram

Definition of Atomic Mass Unit

An Atomic Mass Unit (AMU) is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of atoms or molecules. It is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 at rest and in its ground state. The AMU provides a convenient way for chemists and physicists to express atomic and molecular masses on a scale suitable for the minute quantities involved in atomic-scale interactions.

Definition of Centigram

A Centigram (cg) is a unit of mass in the metric system and is equivalent to one hundredth of a gram (0.01 gram). The centigram is rarely used in practice, as grams and milligrams are the more common units for measuring small masses. However, it provides a useful scale for scientific calculations and studies that require precision at a level between milligrams and grams.
