Avogadro's Constant

Avogadro's Constant, approximately \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\), is a fundamental number in chemistry that represents the number of particles, usually atoms or molecules, in one mole of a substance. This means that if you have a mole of any material, it contains about \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) individual particles. It's a key concept that helps chemists relate the macroscopic scale of substances we can measure in the lab to the microscopic scale of atoms and molecules, enabling us to quantify and compare different materials consistently.
