Value of NA[1] in various units
6.02214179(30)×1023 mol−1

The Avogadro constant (symbols: L, NA) is the number of particles (usually atoms or molecules) in one mole of a given substance.[2] Its value is equal to 6.02214129(27)×1023 mol−1.[3] The constant was named after the Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.

An old term closely related to the Avogadro constant is Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is the number of atoms in 12 grams of the carbon isotope carbon-12. Avogadro's number is a dimensionless quantity and has the numerical value of the Avogadro constant given in base units.
