National Mole Day When : Always October 23rd, from 6:02 a.m., to

special day is for you. National Mole Day commemorates Avogadro's
Number (6.02 x 10^23) To thoroughly enjoy National Mole Day, one
must first understand what a "Mole" in Chemistry is. A "mole" is a
basic measuring unit. It equals the atomic mass of a single
molecule. It is measured in grams. This measure was discovered by
Italian Amadeo Avogadro. Chemistry teachers celebrate this day, by
getting kids more interested in chemistry. They create special
lesson and lab experiments around the theme of chemical
measurements. Why celebrate from 6:02 a.m., to 6:02 p.m? Look at
the chemical formula for a mole. It starts with the number 6.02.
