Incredibly easy question....

Ok, so i'm studying for my retake and keep messing up the Molar Mass, Molecular Weight, amu, Atomic weight and Molecular Mass. I know its a stupid question, but they are all used interchangably and I get messed up. Anyone want to clearify exactly what each are?

I'm thinkin Molar mass = g/mol = Molecular mass

amu = not positive
and I thought Molecular weight is g/mol as well, but again i get confused.

So I was doing Examkrackers and this whole amu tripped me up. It is old info we learned a long time ago.
basically there are 12 amu in a carbon atom, 6 neutrons and 6 protons.
So basically 1 amu=proton or a neutron
hydrogen is 1 proton=1 amu

amu stands for "Atomic Mass Unit." Hopefully that helps.

there's no such thing as "a stupid question... only stupid answers." =D
