Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A unit used to measure the number of atoms of an element or molecules of a compound. (6.02x10^23)
A
Ion
B
Mole
C
Isotope
D
Anion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022 × 10²³ units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro’s number or Avogadro’s constant.

Detailed explanation-2: -It represents the number of atoms in one gram atom of an element or the number of molecules in one gram mole of a compound. If we divide the atomic mass of an element by actual mass of its atom, the value is 6.022×1023.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemists have chosen to count atoms and molecules using a unit called the mole (mol), from the Latin moles, meaning “pile” or “heap.” One mole is 6.022 x 1023 of the microscopic particles which make up the substance in question. Thus 6.022 x 1023 Br atoms is referred to as 1 mol Br.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mole, symbol mol, is the SI unit of amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.022 140 76 x 1023 elementary entities. This number is the fixed numerical value of the Avogadro constant, NA, when expressed in the unit mol–1 and is called the Avogadro number.
