PA S S A G E -I V : The molecular mass of a substance is the relative mass of its molecule as compared with the mass of a carbon-12 atom taken as 12 units. The molecular mass of a substance indicates the number of times one molecule of a substance is heavier than `1/12` of C-12 atom. It is equal to the sum of atomic masses of all the atoms present in a molecule. Depending on the number of atoms of same or different elements present in the molecule, it can be monoatomic, diatomic, triatomic, tetratomic or a polyatomic molecule.
Which is an example of a polyatomic molecule?

`S_(8)`

`HNO_(3)`

`C_(2)H_(5)OH`

All of these

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

`S_(8)` has more than 4 atoms.
