What are the key differences between atomic mass and molar mass?

Atomic Mass: Mass of a single atom in amu | Molar Mass: Mass of one mole of a substance in g/mol. Numerically the same, but different units and scales.

What are the differences between moles and grams?

Moles: A unit of amount (6.022 x 10²³ particles) | Grams: A unit of mass. Moles are converted to grams using molar mass.

Label the components of an atom.

1: Protons (in nucleus), 2: Neutrons (in nucleus), 3: Electrons (orbiting nucleus)

What is a mole?

A mole is a unit representing 6.022 x 10²³ particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.).

What is molar mass?

The mass in grams of one mole of a substance, expressed in g/mol.

What is Avogadro's number?

The number of particles in one mole of a substance: 6.022 x 10²³.

What is dimensional analysis?

A technique for converting between different units using conversion factors to cancel out unwanted units.

Define atomic mass.

The mass of one atom in atomic mass units (amu); numerically equal to molar mass in g/mol.
