Molecular Mass and Relative Molecular Mass

Molecular Mass:

The molecular mass of a substance is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule of the substance. It is therefore, the relative mass of a molecule expressed in atomic mass units (u).

Illustration : The relative molecular mass of water H_2O is 18 u, which can be calculated as

           Atomic mass of Hydrogen= 1u        

          Atomic mass of oxygen    =16u
