2. Definitions
1. Atomic mass: - Atomic mass is defined as the
mass of one atom of the element compared with
the mass of one atom of C12 (the stable light
isotope of carbon).
2. Molecular mass: - It is defined as the sum of
atomic masses of the atoms of all the elements
present in a molecule shown by its molecular
formula.
3. Empirical formula mass/ formula mass: - It is
the sum of atomic masses as given in the
simplest (empirical) formula of ionic compound
4. Molecular formula: - The expression, showing
types and actual number of atoms present in a
compound, using symbols for component
elements and numerals for number of atoms of
each element per molecule, like C6H6 for
benzene.
5. Empirical formula: - A chemical formula that
indicates the relative proportions of the elements
in a compound rather than the actual number of
the atoms of the elements.
6. Mole: - One mole is gram atomic mass, gram
molecular mass or gram formula mass of any
substance (atoms, ions, molecules), which
contains 6.02*1023
elementary entities.
Chemistry MCQs Dr. Sajid Ali Talpur
3. 7. Molar mass: - The mass of one mole is called
molar mass.
8. Avagadro’s number: - The number of basic
quantities as present in 12 grams of C12
i.e
6.02*1023
