The amount of matter with the same number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, or formula units) as the number of atoms present in exactly 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12. Abbreviated as mol and symbolized as n.

Determining the number of particles
1 mole of Cl- = 6.033 x 10^23 chloride ions
2 moles of Mo = 2 x 6.022 x 10^23 Molybdenum atoms
Atomic mass unit (amu)
The mass equivalent to 1/12 of the carbon-12 isotope
Atomic mass
The average of the masses of naturally occurring isotopes, taking into account their relative abundance
Calculating atomic mass
AMi x RAi
The mass (in grams) of one mole of an element has an equal numerical value as that of atomic mass (in amu) of the element
Molar mass (M)
The mass per one mole of a given elementary entity, with units of g/mol or kg/mol
Calculating molar mass
Mi x ni
Molar mass has an equal numerical value with the atomic mass if the substance is an element
