उत्तर
Relative molecular mass [RMM] of an element/compound : “Is the number of times one molecule of the substance is heavier than 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon [C12].
RAM = `"Mass of one atom of the element"/("Mass of one atom of carbon"["C"^12])`
OR
“Mass of one molecule as compared with the 1/12 mass of an atom of carbon[C12]”
RMM = `("Mass of one molecule of the substance")/((1/2) "Mass of one atom of carbon"["C"^12])`
To determine the absolute mass of an atom indirect methods are utilised as Atom are extremely small and very light.
An isotope of carbon C12 [carbon -12 atom] has been assigned an atomic mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units] is used.

Example 1: Make placards with symbols and valencies of the elements separately. Each student should hold two placards, one with the symbol in the right hand and the other with the valency in the left hand. Keeping the symbols in place, students should criss-cross their valencies to form the formula of a compound.
