The world's longest ongoing war. For more than 60 years, Karen rebels have been fighting a civil war against the government of Myanmar. In February 1949, members of the Karen ethnic minority launched an armed insurrection against Myanmar's central government.
In Chemistry the quantities of a dozen, a century, a gross, ream and millennium are far too small. Even a million is too small. One million atoms of iron weighs 0.0000000000000000928 grams! Chemistâs measure atomic particles using a large QUANTITY called the mole. One mole is equal to 602214179000000000000000 or 6.022 x 1023 particles.
What is the mole? The mole is the SI base unit that measures amount of substance. The symbol for amount of substance is n. By definition, the mole contains a defined number of entities (usually atoms or molecules). This number is called 'the Avogadro constant' (N A). The mole is used to describe a practical quantity of material.
