Mole is the unit of the Amount of the substance, which is one of the seven the fundamental (or basic) unit.
One mole represent 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
Mole was actually defined in terms of the mass.
The correct definition of the mole as issued by the International bureau of the weight and measures at Sevres (near Paris) is
One mole is approximately the amount of the substance which contains as many particles or entities which can be atoms, molecules or ions as there are in the exact 12 g of the Carbon-12 isotopes.
In case of the atoms,
No. of moles = Mass/Atomic Mass
In case of the molecules,
Also, No. of moles = Mass/Molar Mass
Hope it helps.
