Important Vocabulary
- Mass Number: Total of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
- Molecular Formula: Shows number of each type of atom in a molecule.
Formula Mass vs. Molecular Mass
- Formula Mass: Appropriate for ionic compounds (e.g., sodium chloride) and derived from the sum of mass numbers of constituent atoms.
- Molecular Mass: Specific to covalent compounds, represents the total mass of a molecule.
Definition of Compounds
