The mole and Avogadro constant
The mole and Avogadro constant
A mole is a counting unit for particles. One mole of any substance contains approximately 6.02×10236.02 \times 10^{23}6.02×1023 particles. This number per mole is the Avogadro constant, NA=6.02×1023 mol−1N_{\text{A}} = 6.02 \times 10^{23}\,\text{mol}^{-1}NA=6.02×1023mol−1.
