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.
Can you give an example of a way that you use moles in your everyday life? If you can't think of one, can you create an instance where using the mole might be a benefit for you?
