Why is Avogadro’s number referred to as a mole?
A The name "mole" is an 1897 translation of the German Mol, coined by Wilhelm Ostwald in 1893. The name is assumed to be derived from the German word Molekül (molecule).
B There is no relationship between Avogadro’s number and the mole.
C Avogadro’s number is often the denominator in mathematical equations, so it was given the name the mole to describe its burrowing characteristics.
D Two different people, Avogadro and Mole discovered the number at the same time, therefore they share its name.
Is it B?
