    Atomic Mass
AI Thread Summary
Molar mass and atomic number are distinct concepts; atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom, while molar mass relates to the mass of a substance in grams per mole. To find molecular mass and molar mass, one can use atomic weights defined in atomic mass units, with molar mass being the weight in grams derived from these values. Avogadro's number is crucial as it connects the number of atoms or molecules to the mole concept. For more precise understanding, researching specific topics like "molar molecular mass relationship" can provide clarity. Engaging with detailed questions will yield better guidance on these concepts.

They aren't. You may be thinking of the atomic mass or weight, which is different from the atomic number.

You will get better and more helpful answers here if you can tell us more about what you do and don't understand and what you've been able to figure out for yourself. Google for something like "molar molecular mass relationship", see what you find, come back with more specific questions and we'll be better able to help you.

How to find molecular mass and molar mass for molecules?
Atomic weight (mass) and molecular weight are defined in terms of atomic mass units (1/12 of Carbon-12). Molar mass (mole) is the the mass in grams, using the number from atomic or molecular weight. Avogadro's number gives the relationship (number of atoms or molecules in a mole).
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
