Question

What is the atomicity of h2so4

Answer 1

This is atomicity H2SO4 is seven as it has 2 hydrogen, one Sulphur and 4 atoms of oxygen.

Answer 2

The atomicity of H2SO4 is 7.

• The atomicity refers to the number of total atoms present in a single atom of a chemical compound.
• Now, the H2SO4 or sulfuric acid molecule has the following atoms :

1. Hydrogen atom = Count : 2
2. Sulfur atom = Count : 1
3. Oxygen atom = Count : 4

• The atomicity of the sulfuric acid molecule :

= Number of hydrogen atom + number of Sulphur atom + number of oxygen atom

= (2+1+4)

= 7

• Hence, the atomicity of the sulfuric acid becomes 7.
