Question

The number of atoms in one ___ (mole/molecule) of an element is called its ___(acidity/atomicity)

Answer 1

Atomicity

• The number of atoms in an atom or molecule is known as atomicity.
• The number of atoms in a molecule explains its atomicity. It shows the number of atoms bonded together. They are classified into four categories based on the atomicity value.
• Monoatomic, diatomic, triatomic, and polyatomic molecules are the four categories of molecules based on their atomicity.
• Monoatomic molecules are those with atomicity of one or have only one atom.
• Diatomic molecules are those that have atomicity of two or contain two atoms.
• The atomicity of triatomic molecules is three as the name suggests.
• The atomicity of polyatomic molecules is larger than three.

Therefore, The number of atoms in one molecule of an element is called its atomicity
