Best Answer

Each atom has its own RELATIVE MASS.

This is the mass of each atom in comparison to carbon.

C6H12O6 is the formula of a glucose molecule.

  • C6 means there are 6 carbon atoms. 1 carbon atom has a mass of 12.

So 6 * 12 = 72

  • H12 means there are 12 hydrogen atoms. 1 hydrogen atom has a mass of 1.

So 12 * 1 = 12

  • O6 means there are 6 oxygen atoms. 1 oxygen atom has a mass of 16.

So 6 * 16 = 96

72 + 12 + 96 = 180

So a molecule of glucose has a relative molecular mass of 180.

Hope this helps
