Molecular mass
The molecular mass (abbreviated Mr) of a
substance, formerly also called molecular weight and abbreviated as MW, is the
mass of one
molecule of that substance, relative to the
unified atomic mass unit u (equal to 1/12 the mass of one
atom of
carbon-12). This is distinct from the relative molecular mass of a molecule, which is the ratio of the mass of that molecule to 1/12 of the mass of carbon 12 and is a dimensionless number. Relative molecular mass is abbreviated to Mr.

molecular mass
The sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule, based on a scale in which the atomic masses of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are 1, 12, 14, and 16, respectively. For example, the molecular mass of water, which has two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, is 18 (i.e., 2 + 16).
