Solution

The correct option is D all have the same no of atoms.
Since the given mass is 1 g of each, the number of oxygen atoms = given mass ÷ molecular mass ×NA
(i) Given mass of O = 1g, Molar mass of O = 16g
No. of O atom in 1 g =116×NA
(ii) Given mass of O2 = 1g, Molar mass of O2 = 32g
Since, no. of O2 molecule in 1 g =132×NA
Therefore, no. of O atom in 1 g of O2 =2×132×NA=116×NA
(iii) Given mass of O3 = 1g, Molar mass of O3 = 48g
Similarly, no. of O atom in 1 g of O3 =3×148×NA=116×NA

All three option has

116moles,henceifnumberofmolesareequalthennumberofoxygenatomsarealsoequal.
