https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.A00543
The Avogadro constant, NA=6.02214076×1023 mol−1, is a proportionality constant between the quantity amount of substance (n, with unit mole) and the quantity for counting entities (N with unit one, symbol 1), N=NA n.
Notes:
  1. In the revision of the International System of Units (SI) of 2019 the Avogadro constant became one of the seven defining constants with the exact value 6.02214076×1023 mol−1.
  2. The Avogadro number is the exact numerical value of the Avogadro constant, 6.022 140 76×1023
  3. While the symbol NA is used to honour Amedeo Avogadro, the symbol L is used in honour of Josef Loschmidt.
