Question

Atomicity is defined as the combining capacity of the atom of an element.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Atomicity:

• The number of atoms in a molecule of an element is called its atomicity.
• For example the atomicity of carbon dioxide (${\mathrm{CO}}_2$) is 3, the atomicity of calcium chloride (${\mathrm{CaCl}}_2$) is 3, the atomicity of sulphuric acid (${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$) is 7, and the atomicity of ammonia (${\mathrm{NH}}_3$) is 4, etc.

Concluding statement: Atomicity is defined as the combining capacity of the atom of an element. Hence, the given statement is false.
