1. This document discusses writing chemical formulae and balancing chemical equations. It explains how relative atomic mass is used to compare the masses of different atoms by using carbon-12 as the standard. 2. Isotopes are discussed, which are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons and masses. The average atomic mass of an element takes into account the different isotopes and their abundances. 3. It also explains how the mole concept relates grams of a substance to numbers of atoms or molecules using Avogadro's number. Empirical formulae are derived from determining the ratios of elements that combine in a compound.
