Q2 Lesson 4 - Mole Concept
OVERVIEW
This lesson relates the microscopic particles and quantities with the particles of matter which are the
subatomic, atomic, ionic and molecular levels. These particles are quantified using mole counting.
Understanding mole counting provides a better appreciation of how exact science can be.
Atoms, molecules, ions, and other elementary entities of matter can be counted using the mole.
• The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains, but by
the quantity of each type of atom or ion.
• A _________ is defined as the amount of substance containing the same number of discrete
entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as the number of atoms in a sample of pure carbon-12
weighing exactly 12 g.
• One mole is approximately equal to 6.02×10 ²³ particles. The value of a mole (6.02×10 ²³) is
known as _______________________.
• 1 mole of any element contains the same number of atoms as 1 mole of any other element
