Atoms combine as the electrons from each atom are attracted to the nuclei of the atoms. This results in bonds ranging from 100% covalent to bonds with high ionic character. The combination of atoms to form compounds occurs when the compounds being formed are at lower energy than the original atoms

How many total atoms are in 0.290 g of P2O5?

Sliva [168]

There are 8.61 × 10²⁰ atoms in 0.290 g P₂O₅.

Step 1. Convert grams of P₂O₅ to moles of P₂O₅.

$\text{Moles of P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} = \text{0.290 g } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times \frac{\text{1 mol }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}{\text{141.94 g }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}} = \text{0.002 043 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \\$

Step 2. Convert moles of P₂O₅ to molecules of P₂O₅.

$\text{Molecules of } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} = \text{0.002 043 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}\\$

$= 1.23 \times10^{21}\text{ molecules } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}\\$

Step 3. Convert molecules of P₂O₅ to atoms.

There are seven atoms in 1 mol P₂O₅.

∴ $\text{Total atoms} = 1.23\times 10^{21 }\text{ molecules }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times\frac{\text{7 atoms}}{\text{1 molecule }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}} = 8.61 \times 10^{21}\text{ atoms}\\$
