How to Find Molecular Mass of an Element?

Identify the element’s atomic mass from the periodic table

If needed, convert atomic mass units to grams per mole

For a single atom, the molecular mass is the same as the atomic mass

For a molecule made of the element, multiply the atomic mass by the number of atoms in the molecule

Add the masses of all atoms if the formula contains more than one type of atom

Express the final value in atomic mass units or grams per mole, as required
