The celebrations, more specifically, take place between 6:02 AM and 6:02 p.m. on June 2, 2002 AM. The time and date are written in the United States, 6:02 10/23. The time and date are calculated from Avogadro's number. The number of Avagadro's number is 6.021023. Hence, one of the seven base SI units, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in a single mole of a substance.

  • A mole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to specify quantities of a chemical substance
  • Avogadro's number is a historical figure closely related to the Avogadro constant
  • Amedeo Avogadro, an early 19th-century Italian scientist, was named after the Avogadro constant

National mole day history has a long tradition

National Mole Day was triggered by an article in The Science Teacher in the early 1980s. The National Mole Day Foundation was established on May 15, 1991 by a chemistry teacher at Prairie du Chien Senior High School who was inspired by the article and established the National Mole Day Foundation.
