6.02 × 1023 the number of particles in one mole of a substance

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to count the grains of sand in a sandbox, a task that feels overwhelming and almost impossible to complete. This is similar to Avogadro's number, which represents an unimaginably large quantity of particles, just like the countless grains of sand. Just as a sandbox is filled with an enormous number of sand grains that are difficult to individually count, Avogadro's number, 6.02 × 10²³, tells us how many atoms or molecules are in one mole of a substance, making it easier to conceptualize and work with these vast quantities in scientific calculations.
