Which has the Maximum Number of Atoms?

Which has the maximum number of atoms? Find the answer to this question and access a vast question bank customised for learners.

Answer: An atom’s number of protons and electrons determines a substance’s atomic mass. For instance, since carbon has an atomic mass of 6, it has six electrons.

Calculations for the number of atoms within carbon include,

Carbon has a molar mass of 12g/MOL.

24g makes up the mass of carbon.

The number of Avogadro is

6.022×1023 atoms. 

The number of atoms in 24 g of carbon can now be calculated as,

24g× (6.022 × 1023 atoms) / 12g = 12.04 × 1023   atoms. 

The number of atoms in 56g of Iron is

6.022×1023 atoms
