    Atomic mass is measured in u, not atoms. That would be moles.

      And measuring in moles is way less crazy than measuring in eagles.

        Really? Now I have to go dig up some moles…

        Which, ah, species is best here?

      Im debating with myself whether moles are truly a units because unlike other units moles are just a conveniently large amount but unlike other units moles could fully be replaced by a factor

        Yeah they aren’t a unit in the sense that they make a non-quantifiable measure quantifiable. In dimensional analysis they would have the dimension [1]. But they can still be regarded as a unit since they act in the exact same way, just like other factors do. But yeah, they are more akin to the SI prefixes like kilo, or something like a dozen or a gross.

        A mole isn’t just convenient. I’m sure there’s a youtube somewhere that explains it but advagadros number is a product of the fact that: 1) every atom of an element has a weight (or at least an average) and 2) atoms interact in integer quantities. If you put those two together there is a common multiplier for a stochiometric equation that is related to the mass of a given atom in that stoichiometry. That multiplier is the the mole.

    Meanwhile, Brits will look you dead in the eye and say “I weigh 11 stone and 5 pounds”

        Nah, they still do it. A British person gave their weight in stone to me recently. I asked if they could give it in kg, they could not. I asked how much a stone is in kg, they did not know.
