Ans. A dozen is a common counting unit. A counting unit is a convenient number that makes it easier to count objects. We ofen count doughnuts and eggs by dozens. Similarly, we count shoes and gloves in pairs. Chemists, however, do not work with macroscopic (visible) objects like shoes and doughnuts. Instead, chemists are interested in microscopic entities: atoms and molecules. Since these entities are so small, chemists established their own practical counting unit called the mole. So we can say that A Mole is a Chemist Dozen.
