In fact we can use moles to measure all of these species.

Explanation:

The answer they probably wanted you to give was to exclude electrons. Nevertheless, we can certainly measure electrons using molar quantities.

For redox reactions, we could write:

Na(s)Na++e

And if a 23g mass of sodium metal is oxidized, certainly Avogadro's number of electrons are evolved.

Avogadro's number is simply a number, admittedly it is a very large number, 6.022×1023mol1.
