(a) (i) Carbon-12 is chosen as the standard because it is a solid at room temperature and thus 2
can be handled easily.
Carbon-12 combines easily with other elements. Therefore, this element is found in
most substances.
2
Although carbon has three isotopes, carbon-12 is the major isotope with the
abundance of 99%. This makes the relative atomic mass of carbon-12 exactly 12.0.
