Symbol ArA_r

Relative atomic mass

Symbol MrM_r

Relative formula mass

Standard atom used to compare atomic mass

Carbon-12

Where to find ArA_r values

Periodic table

Units for ArA_r and MrM_r

No units (they are relative)

MrM_r is used for which type of substance?

Compounds

Steps to calculate MrM_r

Find formula, use ArA_r values, multiply & add

ArA_r of carbon (C)

12

ArA_r of oxygen (O)

16

MrM_r of CO2CO_2 (ArA_r C=12, O=16)

(1×12)+(2×16)=44(1 \times 12) + (2 \times 16) = 44

Structure of ionic compounds like NaCl

Lattice of ions (not individual molecules)

Can MrM_r be calculated for ionic compounds?

Yes, using same method
