Is there a difference between molecules, formula units, and atoms?
Aren't they all particles? What is the difference? I don't get how you can tell.
How do you differentiate?

What are the 3 different types of molar mass?

All chemistry!

Molecules are particles made up of atoms. Formula units (like moles) are just words you use to count small particles more effectively...for example, a pair is a unit comprising 2 items. A mole is a unit that comprises of 6*10^23 items

There's only one kinda molar mass...it refers to the mass of one mole of stuff (any stuff)

Hope I helped

I agree with leevan molecules are particles made up of atoms. Atoms are also invisible particles made up of protons, neutrons and electrons
