1.2NH THE MOLE & Scientific Notation The mole is defined as a collection of 6.022 × 1023 particles.
The atomic mass given on a periodic table that is given in grams is the mass of one mole (6.022 × 1023 particles) of that element.
Atomic Number – the
6 number of protons in nucleus EXAMPLE: Atomic Symbol C Molar Mass for Carbon 12.011
As you can see from the example above, one mole of Carbon would have a mass of 12.011 grams. Another way to say this is that 12.011 grams of carbon contains 6.022 × 1023 particles.
Avogadro’s number is the basis for the mole. 1 mole is Avogadro’s number of atoms.
AVOGADRO’S NUMBER = 6.022 × 1023 particles

LET’S BE SURE YOUR DOING SCIENTIFIC NOTATION CORRECTLY ON YOUR CALCULATOR.
Most students do not use the calculator correctly for Scientific Notation.
The E or EE on your calculator creates the x 10 portion of scientific notation.
Try entering the following number: 2.3785 X 108 On your calculator Type 2.3785 To get the exponent press 2nd then EE (above the 7) Then enter the exponent 8 The value should appear like this: 2.3785E8
Here are a Couple of Examples for You to Try.
A Multiplication Example:
-5 8 4.805 X 10 X 2.3785 X 10 = ? Your calculator should read 11428.6925 or 1.14286925 X 104
A Division Example:
The mole or Avogadro’s # will look like this in your Calculator if Entered correctly
You’ll be using this frequently and often. ( I think that might be a Yogi Bear quote) LAST NAME______FIRST NAME______DATE______PERIOD ____
