What Is A Mole?

A mole is either a creture or a scientific mesurement.the mole - 600000000000000000000000A mole is a number of atoms of one element, its special because a mole of any elements weight in grams will be the same number as one atoms relative atomic mass.For instance, if an atoms relative atomic mass is 10, then if you get 600000000000000000000000 identical atoms, the whole mass will be 10 grams.Clever ay!

wow, thats awesome. At first looking at this post I though you were talking about an actual Mole as in a animal that makes tunels underground. lol. The power of science at a molecular level is very suprising, and amazing what they can do with them now these days.

Yeah, amazing i could remember all that! took me a good week to get used to the idea, its bloody impressive though.

That's quite a big number. I thought you were talking about the animal-mole as well, but I think that I have heard of this kind of mole as well. Quite a big number, as I just said....

Let's all research the field before making a post, especially related to scientific units.

 

Please refer to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ for the correct measure of unit.

 

To recapt, a mole (mol) is 6.022x10 to the 23 power (approx).

Also it's called Avogadro's number. The Mole is the group of 6.022x10^23 units, not the number 6.022x10^23.
