Let’s Begin…
The word “mole” suggests a small, furry burrowing animal to many. But in this lesson, we look at the concept of the mole in chemistry. Learn the incredible magnitude of the mole--and how something so big can help us calculate the tiniest particles in the world.
The mole is a really helpful way to count really small things. Are there other methods we use to help us count? Do we have a number that helps us group really large things? Give some examples (not listed in the video) of how we group items on a daily basis.
