representative particles
refers to the species presnt in a substance, usually atoms, molecules, or formula units.
what is the representative particle of most elements?
atom
what is the representative particle of all molecular compounds?
molecule
What does the mole allow chemists to do?
count the number of representative particles in a substance.
what is the conversion to convert between representative particles and moles?
1 mol over 6.02*10^23
what must you know to determine how many atoms are in a mole of a compound?
you must know how many atoms are in a representative particle of a compound.
What must you do to find the number of atoms in a given number of moles of a compound?
you must first determine the number of representative particles.
What must you do to convert the number of moles of a compound to the number of representative particles?
multiply the number of moles by 6.02*10^23 representative particles. multiply the number of representative particles by the number of atoms in each molecule or formula unit.
what is the atomic mass expressed in?
atomic mass units.
what is the atomic mass of an element expressed in grams
the mass of a mole of the element
molar mass
the mass of a mole of an element
