The International System of Units (S. I.) is the modern form of the metric system, and is the most widely used system of measurement.

It comprises a coherent system of units of measurement built

- on seven base units, which are

(the ampere, kelvin, second, metre, kilogram, candela, mole)

- a set of twenty prefixes to the unit names and unit symbols that may be used when specifying multiples and fractions of the units.

The system also specifies names for 22 derived units, such as lumen and watt, for other common physical quantities.

So, the mole not should be ... is a base unit in the SI system
