Relative and Atomic Molecular Mass

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Relative and Atomic Molecular Mass instructional video also includes:

Relative molecular masses sure have a lot of decimal places! Watch the video to learn how the number of particles in one mole of carbon-12 determines relative atomic and molecular masses. Viewers also learn how to calculate the atomic mass of an element as the average of the masses of its isotopes.

Instructional Ideas
  • Use the video to introduce relative atomic and molecular masses
Classroom Considerations
  • Learners must have knowledge of mole and Avogadro's number, which is covered in the Stoichiometry video
  • Video uses terms that may be unfamiliar to viewers, such as quantum-mechanical interactions
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • Clear and simple explanations
  • Video shows concrete examples of how compounds can have the same number of particles but different masses
Cons
  • Video title and screen title do not match
