The Mole - Definition and Significance

  • Mole is the SI base unit for amount of substance, symbol 'mol'
  • One mole contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ elementary entities
  • Elementary entities can be atoms, molecules, ions, or formula units depending on the substance
3

Avogadro's Constant and Its Applications

  • Avogadro's constant (Nₐ) = 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
  • Named after Amedeo Avogadro, though he never calculated this number
  • Represents the number of entities in one mole of any substance
4

Atomic Mass Scale and Relative Masses

  • Atomic mass unit (amu) = 1/12 mass of one carbon-12 atom
  • Also called unified atomic mass unit (u) or dalton (Da)
