Question

The no. of atoms in 1 mole of hydrogen is twice the no. of atoms in 1 mole of helium. Why ?

Solution

It is because, the hydrogen is bimolecular element i.e. it contains two atoms united together like H2 while helium is monoatomic element as He.
Since, no. of atoms in1 mole of an element = avogadro no. x atomicity
So, no. of atoms per mole for hydrogen gas = avogadro no. x 2
While for helium gas, no. of atoms per mole = avogadro no. x 1
So, no. of atoms of hydrogen in one mole is twice the no. of atoms if helium in 1 mole.
