MOLECULAR MASS

The molecular mass of a substance is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule of the Substance. It is therefore the relative mass of a molecule expressed in atomic mass units (u).

For example, the molecular mass of water, which has two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, is 18 (i.e., 2 + 16).
