The corundum (Al2O3) has a rhombohedral Bravais lattice, but it closely approximates a hexagonal lattice and is usually regarded as hexagonal. There are 30 ions per lattice site (and per unit cell). The Al2O3 formula requires that these 30 ions be divided as 12Al3+ and 18 O2-. The Al2O3 structure closely approximates close-packed O2- sheets with two-thirds of the small interstices between sheets filled with Al3+. In other words, close-packed O2- ion containing layers have repeated stacking and the Al3+ ions fill two-thirds of the octahedral interstices between adjacent layers. (22 points) The density of Al2O3 is Al2O3 = 3.8 gram/cm3, Atomic masses are : MAl = 26.98 gram/mol, MO = 16.00 gram/mol Ionic radii are : rAl3+ = 0.05 nm, rO2- = 0.14 nm a) Draw 3 layers/sheets of O2- ions and Al3+ ions in between them. b) Draw the corundum unit cell and show the O2- and Al3+ ions in the unit cell. c) How many Al2O3 molecules are there in 1 cm3 ? How many atoms are there in 1 cm3 of Al2O3? d) How many Al2O3 molecules are there in 1 gram? How many atoms are there in 1 gram of Al2O3? e)Calculate the atomic packing factor of Al2O3

Is Atomic Mass and Atomic Weight the same terms? Or is Atomic mass and Mass Number the same terms?
On the MCAT Kaplan books it says that atomic mass and mass number are the same thing but online and other chemistry textbooks, atomic mass and atomic weight are the same thing.
Can someone please clarify which two terms are the same thing or are they all different? I really need help to make sure I understand this for the MCAT.

Without drawing out correlation diagrams in detail for each 2nd period homonuclear diatomic molecule separately please show how simple MO theory explains the trends observed in the properties of these molecules shown in the graph. Recall that there are two different energy level orderings, one for Li2 through N2 and a different one for O2 and F2. You might wish to draw these out separately and write out the electron configurations to explain your answer. Please include the ions in your response.
