Understanding Moles in Chemistry

Rocco T. Mole from Khan Academy introduces Mole Day, explaining the concept of a mole in chemistry, which is equivalent to Avogadro's number (approximately 6.022 x 10^23). He compares it to a dozen and highlights its importance in simplifying the counting of atoms and molecules. The video concludes with a call to explore more chemistry topics on Khan Academy's website.
