What is the formula unit mass and molecular mass of glucose.pls explain in detail

Dear student,

Formula unit mass	Molecular mass
The formula mass (formula weight) of a molecule is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula.	Molecular mass (molecular weight) of a molecule is its average mass of the atomic weights of the atoms in the molecular formula.
Formula unit mass is mainly applied to ionic compounds	Molecular mass is applied to both ionic and covalent compounds as well.

The formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆ .
Molecular weight of glucose is 180.6 g/mol
The empirical formula of glucose is CH₂O .
So formula unit mass will be 30 amu (calculated by adding the respective atoms in the empirical formula of glucose).
