Is there a difference between molecules, formula units, and atoms?

Is there a difference between molecules, formula units, and atoms? Aren’t they all particles? What is the difference? I don’t get how you can tell. How do you differentiate?

What are the 3 different types of molar mass?

All chemistry!

Answer #1

Molecules are particles made up of atoms.

Formula units (like moles) are just words you use to count small particles more effectively.

As an example, a “pair” is a unit comprising 2 items.

A mole is a unit that comprises of 6*10^23 items

There’s only one kinda molar mass…it refers to the mass of one mole of stuff (any stuff)

Hope I helped
