Mole Day was created in recognition of the amazing unit of measurement, the mole (6.022x10^23), also known as Avagadro's number. The mole was named in honor of Italian chemist, Amedeo Avagadro. (The picture below is just so funny!)
The mole is very important in chemistry, and it is 6.022x10^23 of anything. Imagine a book with that many pages!
With these few little facts, happy late Mole Day!
