A gram of hydrogen does not exactly have 1 mole of particles. The historical definition for the mole was the count of atoms in 12 grams of the ¹²C carbon isotope, which is slightly different. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago The historical definition for a mole is a little underground mammal.
