The Mole & the Avogadro Constant:-
The mole, symbol mol, is the SI unit of the amount of substance
One mole of a substance contains the same number of the stated particles
This can be atoms, molecules or ions
One mole contains 6.02 x 1023 particles; this number is known as the Avogadro Constant
The mass of 1 mole of a substance is known as the molar mass
For an element, it is the same as the relative atomic mass written in grams
For a compound, it is the same as the relative molecular or formula mass in grams
