Is Avogadro's constant an even or uneven number?
Thanks guys, but those are approximate numbers. The true number is 6.022 141 79(30) x 10 to power 23. Is THAT even or uneven?
Minny, unless the amount of decimals behind the comma exceeds the power of 10...
Amarkov, that is probably true. However, If science accepts the number I listed above is the most accurate estimate of A's constant, the nearest full number would be even, right?
...because the nearest full number would end in either 8 or 10.
Sorry, i meant 8 or 0.

The exact value is undoubtedly neither even nor odd, since it is defined in a way that does not require it to be an integer. But that doesn't matter, because nobody can actually calculate the exact value even to the ones place.

Avogadro's constant is even for it is 6.02 times 10 to the 23rd power. The 10 to the power of 23 is not needed to solve your question only 6.02 which ends in an even number making the entire number even.

It is even because it is the base of 10 to the 23rd power. Meaning, no matter what, it will always, always, always end in a zero, making it even. Example 1.1x10^2=110. See how even though its 1.1, an uneven number, it's still followed by a zero? Making it even.
