The** molar mass** of an element is the** atomic mass** of the element of one mole in grams. Hence, option B is correct .
What is an atom?
An atom is composed of electrons, protons and neutrons. The core of an atom is called nucleus where the protons and neutrons are located. **Electrons **are revolving around the **nucleus **through circular orbits of fixed energy.
The **atomic number **of an atom is the number of electrons in its neutral state. Mass number of an atom is the suM of number of protons and number of neutrons inside the nucleus.
The** atomic mass **of an element is the mass of an atom in the element which is approximately equal to the mass number. Where as one mole of an element that is the weight containing 6.022 × 10 ²³ atoms is called its molar mass.
In fact the atomic mass of an element is its** molar mass**, since the atomic mass we say for an element is for one mole of that element.

The molar mass of an element is the atomic mass of that element expressed in grams, making option B the correct answer. Molar mass indicates the mass of one mole of atoms of the element, which is equivalent to its atomic mass in atomic mass units (amu). This concept is crucial for converting between grams and moles in chemical calculations.
