What are mols?

If I could re-do my final year in high school I would actually do a lot better study than I did I would do my assignments EARLIER instead of leaving them to the last minute. and maybe have done IT.
A mol (pronounced like mole, and apparently that's the technical term) is a unit of measurement. 6.02x10^23

Quote:
A mole is the amount of substance of a system, which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram (or 12 grams) of carbon-12, where the carbon-12 atoms are unbound, at rest and in their ground state.[2] The number of atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon-12 is known as the Avogadro constant, and is determined empirically. The currently accepted value is 6.02214179(30)×1023 mol-1 (2007 CODATA).
The other thing I'd do if I could redo my education is focus a lot more on French.
