Answer:
Explanation:
Atomicity is the number of atoms present in a molecule. For example, Oxygen exists as a diatomi. Molecule which means that a molecule of an oxygen contains two atom hence its atomicity is 2.
Similarly a phosphorus molecule contains 4 atoms, a sulphur molecule contains 8 sulphur atoms. Hence their atomicity is 4 and 8 respectively.
For molecule containing more than one types of atoms, simply count the number of each atom and that would be its atomicity. For example, a molecule of sulphuric acid(H2SO4) consists of 2 hydrogen atom, 1 sulphur atom and 4 oxygen atom. Hence e its atomicity is 2+1+4=7.
Similar for all other molecules as well.
