Synopsis
This video provides an overview of how the masses of subatomic particles are used to calculate atomic masses. It then explains Relative Atomic Mass using chlorine isotopes as an example, followed by an introduction to formula masses, mole calculations, and percentage mass. The video concludes with discussions on the conservation of mass and atom economy. Given its fast pace, the content is likely better suited for revision rather than introducing these concepts.
