Conversion Formula
Unit Information
Mole
The SI base unit of amount of substance, defined as containing exactly 6.02214076 × 10²³ elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, or other particles). This number is known as Avogadro's constant. Fundamental to chemistry for quantifying chemical substances and performing stoichiometric calculations. Essential for relating macroscopic measurements to atomic-scale quantities in chemical reactions and material science.
Millimole
A metric subunit of amount of substance equal to one thousandth of a mole (10⁻³ mol). Commonly used in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and medical laboratory measurements. Represents practical quantities for chemical analysis, pharmaceutical dosages, and biological sample measurements where smaller amounts are typically encountered.
Conversion Tips
- Remember to check your decimal places for accuracy.
- This conversion is commonly used in international applications.
- Consider the context when choosing precision levels.
- Double-check calculations for critical applications.

Scientific Overview
Amount of substance is a fundamental physical quantity that measures the number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, or other particles) in a sample. It is measured in moles (mol) and is one of the seven base quantities in the International System of Units.
Historical Background
The concept of the mole was introduced in the early 20th century by Wilhelm Ostwald. The term "mole" comes from the German word "Molekül" (molecule). The modern definition based on Avogadro's number was established in 1971.
