A mole is unit for measuring large quantities of very small entities like atoms and molecules. A mole is the quantity of anything that has the same number of particles found in 12.000 grams of carbon-12. That number of particles is Avogadro's Number, which is about 6.02x1023.
I could tell that the Mole link did quite a good job at laying out the information, as I did have a few glimmers of comprehension while reading it but I am still not completely confident in my understanding. This is more a matter of my right brain tendencies rather than the link I think.
