Definición
La unidad base del SI para la cantidad de sustancia, definida como exactamente 6,02214076 × 10²³ entidades elementales (átomos, moléculas, iones, etc.).
Explicación
One mole of carbon-12 atoms has a mass of exactly 12 grams. The number 6.02214076×10²³ is Avogadro's number, fixed by the 2019 SI redefinition. A mole of water molecules (18 g) fits in about 18 mL — a tablespoon. Chemists use moles because atoms are too small to count individually, but a mole provides a practical laboratory-scale quantity.
