sum of atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule
Molecular mass is the total weight you get when you add up the masses of all the individual atoms that make up a molecule. It matters because knowing a molecule's mass helps scientists identify substances, predict how they'll behave in chemical reactions, and determine the right amounts to use in experiments or manufacturing.

The molecular mass (m) is the mass of a given molecule, often expressed in units of daltons (Da). Different molecules of the same compound may have different molecular masses because they contain different isotopes of an element. The derived quantity relative molecular mass is the unitless ratio of the mass of a molecule to the atomic mass constant (which is equal to one dalton).
The molecular mass and relative molecular mass are distinct from but related to the molar mass. The molar mass is defined as the mass of a given substance divided by the amount of the substance, and is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). That makes the molar mass an average of many particles or molecules (weighted by abundance of the isotopes), and the molecular mass the mass of one specific particle or molecule. The molar mass is usually the more appropriate quantity when dealing with macroscopic (weigh-able) quantities of a substance.
