Explain like I'm five, please.
Okay... So a mole is a unit of measurement. It is about equal to 6.023 * 10^23, making today, 10/23, Mole day. This is such a large number, that it's used to count molecules. One mole is about 18 ml of water, and greater than the total number of grains of sand in the world.

It's a big number.

Oh, okay.
 
it's some **** to do with chemistry

Mole is used to measure mass (I think) and molecules. Also a mole is a "starter" (talk about it liek it's Pokemans) unit, along with seconds, meter, kilogram and amp. Other units of measurements derive from these units, for example, grams and centimetres as centimetres (as you know) are used to measure one unit out of one-hundred. So basically these were derived from their original units to make it easier to measure things because (as Keenan said) one mole is about 18 ml of water, and greater than the total number of grains of sand in the world. So it would be almost impossible to calculate mass on that scale. And it's actually Physics not Chemistry.

Besically everything here is right, except it is used in chemistry. It's used for counting molecules, something very important in chemistry.
 
I want to do Chemistry now! They don't do this subject at my school. Two more years till high school! Can't wait!
