Question

An example of a polyatomic molecule

Answer 1

• Atomicity refers to the total number of atoms in that molecule.
• Polyatomic molecule: Polyatomic molecules are those molecules that consist of different atoms.
• Therefore an example of a polyatomic molecule is ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$.
• ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ contains different atoms and atomicity is $2\mathrm{atoms}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{H}+1\mathrm{atom}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{S}+4\mathrm{atoms}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{O}=7$. i.e., polyatomic.
