ParticipantI’m not familiar with that term in English, but there’s a similar word in my language. Could it be the sum of all masses of all the elements that the chemical formula of a molecule is composed of? For example the formula mass of CO2 would be the mass of carbon plus 2x the mass of oxygen (look at your periodic system – mine says 12,01 + 2×16,00 = 44,01 g/mol for CO2)
