WHAT DOES AVOGADRO'S CONSTANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Avogadro's constant

Avogadro constant

In chemistry and physics, the Avogadro constant is defined as the number of constituent particles per mole of a given substance, where the mole is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units. The Avogadro constant has dimensions of reciprocal mol and its value is equal to 6.02214129×1023 mol−1. The constant happens to be quite close to an integer power of two, specifically only about 0.37% less than 279 mol−1, making the latter a useful approximation in nuclear physics when considering chain reaction growth rates. Previous definitions of chemical quantity involved Avogadro's number, a historical term closely related to the Avogadro constant but defined differently: Avogadro's number was initially defined by Jean Baptiste Perrin as the number of atoms in one gram-molecule of hydrogen. It was later redefined as the number of atoms in 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12 and still later generalized to relate amounts of a substance to their molecular weight. For instance, to a first approximation, 1 gram of hydrogen, which has a mass number of 1, has 6.022×1023 hydrogen atoms.
