How to find molar mass of molecular oxygen vs oxygen
Atomic oxygen is just one oxygen atom by itself, written as
O.
Molecular oxygen is a molecule of two oxygen atoms covalently
bonded together, such that both atoms attain the stable octet
configuration. It is written as O2.
The molar mass simply means the mass of a substance in one mole (in
grams).oxygen has a mass number of 16.0g
Hence, atomic oxygen has a molar mass of 16.0g while molecular
oxygen has a molar mass of 16.0*2 = 32.0g.
molecular oxygen molar mass = 32.0 g /mol
atomic oxygen molar mass = 16.0 g /mol
