Atomic masses are usually expressed in "atomic mass units" or amu. The atomic mass unit was originally defined to be 1/16 of the mass of an atom of oxygen. Now it is defined to be 1/12 of the mass of an atom of a particular isotope of carbon.

The units used on the periodic table are n amu's also called Daltons. amu=atomic mass units
When reading an equation it can be read as grams for whole moles.

AMU= atomic mass unit
1 AMU is roughly the wait of one proton or one neutron
1 AMU = 1 Dalton
