Mole Concept
NA is a ginormous number!
How big is it?
One mole of softballs would be the size of
the Earth!
The Mole
Atoms are so tiny that one mole of atoms is
about a handful.
The mass of a mole of atoms = the atomic
mass in grams on the Periodic Table.
1 mole of C atoms is 12.01 grams
1 mole of Na atoms is 22.99 grams
What is the mass of one mole of Ne atoms?
