Atoms are too small to allow meaningful measurement of chemical substances. To work with meaningful amounts of substances, scientists group them into units called moles. A mole is defined as the number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12, which is roughly 6.022 x 10<sup>23</sup> atoms. This number is called Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant.<ref> http://www.chemteam.info/Mole/MolarMass.html</ref> It is used as the number of atoms for any substance, and the mass of 1 mole of a substance is its molar mass. | Atoms are too small to allow meaningful measurement of chemical substances.
