The relative atomic mass is the average mass of all the
isotopes
of that element and is denoted with (
Ar
)
The relative formula mass (
Mr
) is found by adding together the relative atomic masses of all the elements in that compound's
molecular
formula.
Calculating percentage mass
Ar of
element
x number of
element
/ Mr of the compound
Average Atomic Mass
= Sum of
Isotopic Abundances
x Isotopic Masses / Total abundance
