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.
A mole of carbon atoms is 6.02x1023 carbon atoms. A mole of chemistry teachers is 6.02x1023 chemistry teachers. It's a lot easier to write the word 'mole' than to write '6.02x1023' anytime you want to refer to a large number of things! Basically, that's why this particular unit was invented.
