    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-to-charge_ratio

    When charged particles move in electric and magnetic fields the following two laws apply: Lorentz force law: = (+),; Newton's second law of motion: = =; where F is the force applied to the ion, m is the mass of the particle, a is the acceleration, Q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, and v × B is the cross product of the ion's velocity and the magnetic flux density.

  3. Reduced mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_mass

    Given two bodies, one with mass m 1 and the other with mass m 2, the equivalent one-body problem, with the position of one body with respect to the other as the unknown, is that of a single body of mass [1] [2] = = + = +, where the force on this mass is given by the force between the two bodies.

  4. Mass (mass spectrometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_(mass_spectrometry)

    Theoretical isotope distribution for the molecular ion of caffeine. The molecular mass (abbreviated M r) of a substance, formerly also called molecular weight and abbreviated as MW, is the mass of one molecule of that substance, relative to the unified atomic mass unit u (equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of 12 C).

  5. Relative atomic mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_atomic_mass

    Relative atomic mass (symbol: A r; sometimes abbreviated RAM or r.a.m.), also known by the deprecated synonym atomic weight, is a dimensionless physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass constant.

  6. Dalton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_(unit)

    This new value was intermediate between the two earlier definitions, but closer to the one used by chemists (who would be affected the most by the change). [12] [13] The new unit was named the "unified atomic mass unit" and given a new symbol "u", to replace the old "amu" that had been used for the oxygen-based unit. [17]

  7. Molar mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass

    In chemistry, the molar mass (M) (sometimes called molecular weight or formula weight, but see related quantities for usage) of a chemical compound is defined as the ratio between the mass and the amount of substance (measured in moles) of any sample of the compound. [1] The molar mass is a bulk, not molecular, property of a substance.

  8. Atomic mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_mass

    Atomic mass (m a or m) is the mass of a single atom.The atomic mass mostly comes from the combined mass of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with minor contributions from the electrons and nuclear binding energy. [1]

  9. Molar mass constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass_constant

    The molar mass constant, usually denoted by M u, is a physical constant defined as one twelfth of the molar mass of carbon-12: M u = M(12 C)/12. [1] The molar mass of an element or compound is its relative atomic mass (atomic weight) or relative molecular mass (molecular weight or formula weight) multiplied by the molar mass constant.
