  • According to the SI brochure counting does not automatically qualify a quantity as an amount of substance.
  • This quantity is used only to describe the outcome of a counting process, without regard of the type of entities.

    There are also some quantities that cannot be described in terms of the seven base quantities of the SI, but have the nature of a count. Examples are a number of molecules, a number of cellular or biomolecular entities (for example copies of a particular nucleic acid sequence), or degeneracy in quantum mechanics. Counting quantities are also quantities with the associated unit one. [en]
