- 4.3 Quantitative chemistry
- 4.3.2 Use of amount of substance in relation to masses of pure substances
- 4.3.2.1 Moles (HT only)
- Chemical amounts are measured in moles. The symbol for the unit mole is mol.
- One mole of a substance contains the same number of the stated particles, atoms, molecules or ions as one mole of any other substance.
- The number of atoms, molecules or ions in a mole of a given substance is the Avogadro constant. The value of the Avogadro constant is 6.02 x 10²³ per mole.
- Students should understand that the measurement of amounts in moles can apply to atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, formulae and equations.

- 9.26C Recall the formulae of molecules of the alcohols, methanol, ethanol, propanol (propan-1-ol only) and butanol (butan-1-ol only), and draw the structures of these molecules, showing all covalent bonds
- 9.32C Recall members of a given homologous series have similar reactions because their molecules contain the same functional group and use this to predict the products of other members of these series
