A mole of something is 6.02 × 10²³ of it. The mass of a mole of a substance is its relative mass expressed in grams.

The relative formula mass (RFM) of a substance is the sum of the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in a formula.

Avogadro's constant is the number of particles in one mole of a substance (6.02 × 10²³ mol⁻¹)

The mole (RAM 1 d.p.)

Chemistry

In the Making salts unit, pupils will learn about the production of pure salts, concentration and strength of acids, and what makes acids acidic and how bases can neutralise them.

In the Atomic structure and periodic table unit, pupils learned about atoms, and how the periodic table is ordered, along with the history of both of their major discoveries.
