2. Avogadro created this unit
3. He used 12 grams of carbon to figure out his unit, weighed out 12 grams and did multiple test calculations
4. Abbreviation for the mole is mol
5. Avogadro’s number is 6.022 x 10^23
6. 1 mole= 6.022 x 10^23
7. Avogadro used the number to create molar mass
8. Molar mass is the weight of an atom in 1 mol, g/mol is the unit
