Define the term gram atom. How is it related to the mole and Avogadro number?

Answer

Gram atom or Gram atomic mass. The atomic mass of an element expressed in grams is called gram atomic mass or gram atom.

1 gram atom of any element contains 6.023 x 1023 (Avogadro number) atoms of the

element. It is equal to 1 mole of atoms.

1 gram atomic mass = 6.023 x 1023 atoms = 1 mole.

(Avogadro number)

The gram atomic mass of an element is equal to the masses of its 6.023 x 1023 atoms. Examples. One gram atom of hydrogen atom weighs one gram and contains 6.023 x 1023 hydrogen atoms. 1 mole of hydrogen atom also weighs 1 gram.
