atoms, ions, compounds

isotope

atoms of the same element has the same amount of protons, but different amount of neutrons

relative atomic mass (Ar)

weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared to an atom of carbon-12

relative formula mass

compares the mass of a formula unit with the mass of an atom of carbon-12

relative molecular mass (Mr)
