Mole in chemistry. What is mole. In this article we will learn what is mole and mole in chemistry. The mole is defined as “when the atomic mass, molecular mass, ionic mass or formula mass is expressed in grams is called Mole”. For example as shown in table no 1.

One mole of a substance is defined as “the amount of
substance which consist of number of particles equal to the number of particles
in carbon-12 atom (6.02×1024). For example one mole of water
consists 6.02×1024 number of particles therefore it is called one
mole. The mass of one mole of a substance is equal to the atomic mass,
molecular mass, ionic mass or formula mass of that substance in grams, as shown
in bellow table.
