Today, October 23, is the most exciting day of the year for a chemist because today is Mole Day. Mole Day is not about the furry animal but Avogadro's Number.
Named after Amedeo Avogadro, Avogadro's Number is 6.02x10^23 things per mole and is a very important number in chemistry.
Every year on October 23, from 6:02am to 6:02pm, chemists celebrate Mole Day. The day also helps get students interested in chemistry.
