Happy 6.022*10^-23 Day kids.

(don't quote me on that; I haven't had avogadro's number memorized in a while)

Region contest tomorrow. I hope we do better than the last two years.

it's positive 23.

positive or negative, I still don't get it D:

It's the number of particles in one mol of substance!

dang :( Oh, I was thinking about how much mass those particles would have in grams when we'd do the problems last year xD

[wupperware.livejournal.com]

yes, THAT would be on the minus 23 scale. and yeah, you can't really have 6.022/100000000000000000000000 particles, since particles are whole. :))

Listen, you're going to take your electron from an iron atom, and you're going to like it.

I would've thought that it would've been on June 2nd! But in my class we only did it to the second decimal place so that's how I roll.

the magnitude of the ten to the twenty third is a little bigger than knowing there's 6.0stuff of something!

"Alright team, I know we had the number three. I'm not sure if it was three, three thousand, or three billion, but let's go with three thousand just to be in the middle!"

vs

"Alright team, I know we have one billion something. I'm not sure if it's three, seven or nine, but we'll go with seven just to be in the middle!"
