Solution

Atomicity:

  • Atomicity is defined as the number of atoms present in the molecule of an element.
  • For example, N2 has atomicity 2.

Atomicity formula:

  • The formula of atomicity is as follows.

Atomicity=molecularmassatomicmass

  • For example, the atomicity of N2 is calculated as follows.

The atomic mass of nitrogen = 14gmol-1

The molecular mass of nitrogen = 28gmol-1

Atomicity=molecularmassatomicmassAtomicity=2814Atomicity=2
