Question

calculate the number of electrons present in 5g of o2

Answer 1

Multiply the element's atomic numberby the number of atoms of this type (see Step 1) in the molecule. Repeat for all elements in the molecule, then add up all the products to calculate the number of electrons. In the first example, the number of electrons in KNO3 equals (19 x 1) + (7 x 1) + (8 x 3) = 50.
