Expert Answer
Molecular mass is the mass of a molecule, while Formula Mass is the mass of ionic compound.
they are almost the same thing, yet we use two different terms because molecules are covalent compounds meaning they have only non-metals so then an ionic compounds cannot be a molecule and therefore it wouldn't make sense to find the molecular mass for an ionic compound so we just call it the "formula mass" when we're talking about ionic compounds .
