The mole, symbol mol, is the SI unit of @A00297@. One mole contains exactly \(6.022\ 140\ 76 \times 10^{23}\) elementary entities. This number is the fixed numerical value of the @A00543@, \(N_{\text{A}}\), when expressed in the unit \(\text{mol}^{\text{-1}}\) and is called the Avogadro number.
The @A00297@, symbol \(n\), of a system is a measure of the number of specified elementary entities. An elementary entity may be an atom, a molecule, an ion, an electron, any other particle or specified group of particles.
