When we assemble a PC, we need to install a RAM card into the socket to give the PC a RAM. However, can we just take any RAM card and just slot into the motherboard? How do we determine what is the RAM card to use for each motherboard?

First thing you need to find out is how many pins the motherboard supports, it can usually be found in the box or in the manual. Second you need to find the speed the motherboard supports, also able to be found on the box. Last item is how much memory it supports also found on box or manual.

EASY, just read the manual. Sometimes, it is also on the box of the motherboard. NO manual, then just download it from the motherboard maker's site.
