Avogadro constant of molecules in one gram-molecule of oxygen (exactly of oxygen, according to the definitions of the period), and this term is still widely used, especially in introductory works. The change in name to "Avogadro constant" ("N") came with the introduction of the mole as a base unit in the International System of Units (SI) in 1971, which regarded amount of substance as an independent dimension of measurement. With this recognition, the Avogadro constant was no longer a pure number, but had a unit of measurement, the reciprocal mole (mol). While it is rare to use units of amount of substance
Newton (unit) Newton (unit) The newton (symbol: N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion. See below for the conversion factors. "One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force." In 1946, Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures (CGPM) Resolution 2 standardized the unit of force in the MKS system of units to be the amount needed to accelerate
