 1. Atoms and Molecules
Atom
Smallest unit in any
element whose
properties remain the
same throughout
Ex: Hydrogen –H
Oxygen - O
Molecule
Two or more atoms of
same kind or different
kind that are combine
chemically.
Ex:
Hydrogen molecule –H2
Water - H2O
2. Atomic Mass and Molecular Mass

Atomic Mass Molecular Mass

Sum of atomic masses of
Mass of an atom. all the atoms in a molecule
Sum of protons and neutrons of a of the substance.
single atom)
Ex: Example :
C- 12u Molecular Mass of H2O
N-14u
0-16u 1x2+1x16 = 18u
H-1u
Cl-35.5
Na-23
 Mole
One mole of any species (atoms/molecules/ions or particles) is that quantity in number having a mass equal to
its atomic or molecular mass in grams
1 mole of any substance =6.022x10^23atoms/molecules/particles
602200000000000000000000

* Substance = Hydrogen atoms/ Oxygen molecule/Water molecule

This number is called the Avogadro constant or Avogadro Number (N0)

Suppose,
6.022x10^23 x 1 = 1 mole

then , 6.022x10^23 x 2 = 2 moles

or 6.022x10^23 x 3 = 3 moles and so on…
