a. ATOMICITY IS DEFINED AS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ATOMS THAT CONSTITUTE A MOLECULE. FOR EXAMPLE, EACH MOLECULE OF OXYGEN IS COMPOSED OF TWO OXYGEN ATOMS. SO ATOMICITY OF OXYGEN IS 2.IN OLDER CONTEXTS, THE TERM ATOMICITY IS SOMETIMES USED IN THE SAME SENSE AS

VALENCY.

THE ONLY CHEMICAL ELEMENTS THAT FORM STABLE HOMONUCLEAR DIATOMIC MOLECULES AT STANDARD TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE (STP) (OR TYPICAL LABORATORY CONDITIONS OF 1 BAR AND 25 °C) ARE THE GASES HYDROGEN (H2), NITROGEN (N2), OXYGEN (O2), FLUORINE (F2), AND CHLORINE (CL2).

b. Formula unit mass of CaSO4.2H2O

= (Number Calcium atoms x atomic mass of Calcium) + (Number Sulphur atoms x atomic mass of sulphur) + (Number Oxygen atoms x atomic mass of Oxygen) + (Number Water molecules x Molecular mass of water molecule)

=(1×40)+(1×32)+(4×16)+(2×18)

=40+32+64+36

=172

Formula unit mass of gypsum = 172
