About the Avagadro Constant

The Avagadro Constant is used to state the number of atoms or molecules in a mole of a substance.
The Avagadro Constant is normally written in Standard Form.
6.02x1023 = 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
1 mole of an element contains 6.02x1023 atoms of that element.
1 mole of a molecule contains 6.02x1023 molecules.
