3.2 Relative masses of atoms and molecules
| Core | Supplement |
|---|---|
1 Describe relative atomic mass, Aᵣ, as the average mass of the isotopes of an element compared to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of ¹²C | |
2 Define relative molecular mass, Mᵣ as the sum of the relative atomic masses. Relative formula mass, Mᵣ will be used for ionic compounds | |
3 Calculate reacting masses in simple proportions. Calculations will not involve the mole concept |
