Avogadro's number

Particles per mole

Avogadro's number is approximately 6.022 × 10²³, representing the number of particles (atoms, molecules, or other entities) in one mole of a substance.

This constant links the atomic scale to measurable quantities, allowing chemists to count particles by weighing them: One mole of water contains Avogadro's number of molecules.

Named for the Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.
