Chemistry: What Is the Mole (Avogadro's Number)?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Avogadro did not find or create Avogadro's number—it was just named after him out of respect for his work. The Socratica chemistry playlist presents a must-see video introduction to the mole. It details how to convert to moles from mass, volume, and particles. The resource also uses guided practice problems to demonstrate proper conversions.
