What is Mole: Definition and 127 Discussions

In high school, I remember one of my chemistry teachers abbreviating mole by drawing a line over an m. I haven't seen anyone else do that. I've seen mol. many many times in books and from most other teachers/professors. Is the m with the line some older method for symbolizing mole? Does...

what's the relation be zmole (zettamole) and mole? thx!

Look at a mole. They have eyes, but they are small, and often completely covered by fur. I'm not a biologist, but I'd venture to guess that many are completely blind. If this is a design from an intelligent being, all I can say is WTF?

Hey guys, I'm back, finished my term in physics with a 96% final grade, thanks to all you guys. So i thought id try you guys before i went to find a chemistry help forum. I get the Mole Concept, kinda, here's an example question (i got an answer, not sure if its right, we don't get a "back...

I have this mole, and it looks like skin cancer and I am getting it looked at on the 5th, I went into see my doctor about it awhile ago she was kind of useless she said "to just keep an eye on it" I went to another doctor recently who referred me to a dermatologist, I would be really mad at the...
