Atomic Mass: An atom's atomic mass is a measure of the mass of the atom itself, including all the protons, neutrons, and electrons that are contained in the atom. The atomic mass of an element is unique and is independent of the number of atoms of that element in an atom of that element.
Molecular Mass: The molecular mass is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule. The molecular mass of a compound is also the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecule.
Mole Concept: A mole is a quantity of a substance that contains Avogadro's number of particles, which is approximately 6.022 x 10^23 particles. Avogadro's number is the number of particles in one mole of a substance.
Molar Mass: The molar mass of a substance is the mass of one mole of that substance. It is equal to the atomic mass of the elements that make up the compound. The molar mass of a compound is always greater than the atomic mass of the elements that make it up.
Examples:
The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008.
The molecular mass of water is 18.015.
The molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44.01 g/mol.
The molar mass of sodium is 22.99 g/mol
