also known as atomic weight is the mass of an atom in atomic mass units
atomic mass
the _______ unit is defined as the mass that is exactly one-twelfth of the mass of one carbon 12 atom
relative atomic mass
a __ is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of atoms molecules or other particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of the carbon 12
mole
accepted value of Avogadro’s Number today
6.02×10²³
defined as the mass in grams/kg of 1 mole of atoms
molar mass
