You know that there are 12 items in a dozen. No matter what the item, a dozen is equal to 12. A gross is another unit of grouping. There are 144 items in a gross. A score, another set group, is equal to 20 items. You can have a score of years or a score of rocks, but it will always be 20 items. Now, a mole is a unit of grouping, just like these examples. The only difference is that a mole represents a large number of items, 602 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 (or 6.02 x 1023) items to be more specific. What the items are doesn't matter. You can have a mole of molecules, a mole of ions, or a mole of stars. The number of items in a mole will always be 6.02 x 1023 . This number is known as Avogadro's number.

6.023 x 10 to the power of 23 is the number of Atoms in a Mole (A mole is the amount of a substance that contains the same number of units of atoms or molecules or ions, as there are atoms in 12 g of Carbon)

6.023 x 10 to the power of 23 is called Avogadro's Number.
