Question

The number of atoms present in one molecule of an element is called-

Answer 1

Understanding Atomicity:

• Atomicity is defined as the number of other or same elements an element is bonded to in a molecule while fulfilling its valency.
• In short terms, atomicity is defined as the total number of atoms present in a molecule.
• For example, ${\mathrm{N}}_2$ contains 2 nitrogen atoms. So, its atomicity is 2.
• Atomicity is important in knowing the valency of the central element and about the type and number of bonds, it can form with similar different atoms.
