1.18 understand the term mole as the Avogadro number of particles (atoms, molecules, formulae, ions or electrons) in a substance

A mole is Avogadro's number simpy because if you have 1 mole of an element its weight in grams will be its atomic mass.

    1. Formulae for example water. 1 mol of it would be , 1+1+16 = 18. 18g of water is 1 mol. Hydrogen is 1 but you times it by two, then add that to the 16 of oxygen which gives you 18.
