How many atoms are there in 7.2 mol neon?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A) 4.3 × 10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Moles of neon: 7.2 moles

Step 2: Calculate the number of atoms present in 7.2 moles of neon

In order to convert moles to toms, we need a conversion factor. In this case, we will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ neon atoms in 1 mole of neon atoms.

7.2 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms/mol = 4.3 × 10²⁴ atoms

There are two ways in which atoms can satisfy the octet rule
