Chemistry question here.

What does it mean when you say in a mol you got 6,02*10^23 atoms?
Does it realy mean that in C, Cl, or any element I got this number of atoms in it?

How is it possible knowing that an element is an atom itself?

And then again why does this number apply to any atoms knowing that it is the number of atoms in 12g of C12 (isotop)?

Gee, I wonder why.

It couldn't possibly be because religion made me waste the best years of my life in service to a nonexistent entity and then made my "friends" and some family members disown me when I left.

Oh, and lets not forget the lingering mental effects of feeding an intelligent but naive kid a bunch of bullshit about how if he angers said entity he will face eternal torture. I still haven't managed to clear all of the shit that they left from my head.

FUCK RELIGION
