A Mole is defined as the atomic weight of a molecule or chemical in grams and is the same atom found in 12,000 grams of carbon (12), expressed as 6.021023. In other words, a mole defines a substance that contains at least one atom or molecule, of which more than a million atoms are contained in one gram of the substance.

October 23 is the day of the mole because October 23 is 1023 and October 23 is celebrated as the day of the mole in the United States and many other countries around the world.

Chemists, scientists, students and other number lovers are celebrating Mole Day to commemorate the Avogadro number, which is a basic weight – a unit of measurement in chemistry. The AvogADro number defined in the equation 6 – 02 – 1023 shows that for each molecule, one molecule of the substance contains twice as many atoms as its molecular number. To know more about this number and how it is practical, we need to study how chemists determine how many atoms there are in a mole.
