Answer 2

The Atomicity of an element is defined as the number of atoms per molecule of the element...

In a Selenium molecule, the number of atoms may rise up to 1000...

So, the atomicity of Selenium is 1000 in this case...

In a Buckminsterfullerene molecule, there are 60 atoms of Carbon...

So, the atomicity of Carbon is 60 in this case...
