Q

whats the difference between relative formula mass and relative molecular mass

A

relative molecular mass can only be used with molecules eg h20= 2 hydrogen and one oxygen so (2x1)+16=18 but would work with ionic substances eg NaCl
whereas relative formula mass works with everything as it just uses the formula eg H20 and Nacl

just use relative formula mass for everything
