Atomicity is the number of atoms present in a molecule of the element.
So, for one molecule of nitrogen gas (N2), the atomicity is 2.
To illustrate this with an example, consider the reaction:
2H2 + O2 = 2H20.
Two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen to form two molecules of water.
So each molecule of hydrogen has two atoms, the atomicity of hydrogen is two.
Hence that of oxygen is two and that of water is three.
