The sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule of the substance is Molecular mass.

  • It is calculated in practice by summing the atomic weights of the atoms making up the substance’s molecular formula
  • For example, the molecular mass of water (H2O), which has two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, is

               = 2 x mass of hydrogen atom + mass of oxygen atom

               = 2 x 1 + 16

               = 2 + 16

               = 18

  • Formula mass of a molecule is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in the empirical formula of the compound.
  • Mole corresponds to the mass of a substance that contains 6.023 x 1023 particles of the substance.
  • Atomic mass is the mass of a single atom of a chemical element.
