All those physical objects: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_incomplete_circle_of_everything.svg / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Standard_Model_of_Elementary_Particles.svg, are amount of substance?

Jhenrique said:I don't know how call those things, some haven't mass, charge, spin and maybe still volume! In other words, all the particles (incluinding the photon), every what is possible quantify, are amount of substance?
The amount of substance refers to the quantity of a substance, measured in moles, that is present in a physical object or system. It is a fundamental unit in chemistry and is used to measure the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions) in a sample of a substance.
The amount of substance is calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by its molar mass. The result is measured in moles. For example, if a sample of a substance has a mass of 50 grams and its molar mass is 25 g/mol, then the amount of substance is 2 moles (50 g / 25 g/mol = 2 mol).
Understanding the amount of substance in physical objects is important because it allows us to accurately measure and compare the quantities of different substances. It also helps us to understand the behavior and properties of matter, as the amount of substance affects how a substance interacts with other substances and its environment.
The most common unit for measuring amount of substance is the mole (mol). Other commonly used units include the kilomole (kmol) and the millimole (mmol). In some cases, the amount of substance may also be expressed in terms of molecules or atoms.
The amount of substance is directly proportional to the Avogadro constant, which is approximately equal to 6.022 x 10^23 mol^-1. This means that one mole of any substance contains the same number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions) as any other substance. The Avogadro constant is a fundamental constant in chemistry and is used in various calculations involving amount of substance.
