Question

what do you mean by atomicity?write the atomicity of sulphuric acid and ammonia.​

Answer 1

• Atomicity is the number of atoms present in the given entity.

For example, if we have to give the atomicity of H20 it will be 3.

Because it has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

• The formula of sulphuric acid is H₂SO₄. It has 2 atoms of hydrogen, 1 atom of sulphur, and 4 atoms of oxygen.

        So, the atomicity of sulphuric acid will be 7.

• The formula of ammonia is NH₃. It has 1 atom of nitrogen and 3 atoms of hydrogen.

      So, the atomicity of ammonia will be 4.

Answer 2

• As we know that the Atomicity is the number of atoms present in the given entity.

For example, if we have to give the atomicity of H20 it will be 3.

Because it has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

• The formula of sulphuric acid is H₂SO₄. It has 2 atoms of hydrogen, 1 atom of sulfur, and 4 atoms of oxygen.

So, the atomicity of sulphuric acid will be 7.

• The formula of ammonia is NH₃. It has 1 atom of nitrogen and 3 atoms of hydrogen.

       So, the atomicity of ammonia will be 4.

As we know that The atomicity of H2SO4 is 7. The atomicity refers to the number of total atoms present in a single atom of a chemical compound.

So, Atomicity is the total number of atoms present in one molecule of an element or a compound. in the case of ammonia

That is the NH3, 4 atoms are present, therefore its atomicity is 4.
