Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine the students' error in learning mole concept A total of 120 Senior Secondary 2 chemistry students randomly selected from two private schools in Zaria with a mean age of 17 constituted the sample size for the study. The Chemistry achievement tests (CAT) and Mole concept diagnostic test (MDT) were used as the instruments for the study . Diagnostic interview and semi-structured questionnaire were also used to identify at which level students' errors occur in solving problems and the perception of students towards mole concept was that success can be achieved in problem solving with a good grasp of the subject and an above average mathematical ability. The type of error analyzed were based on the modified Newman Error Hierarchy Model that includes reading type error, comprehension, transformation, process skill, and encoding error.
