  • Hydrogen vs. Helium: Which Has Fewer Atoms? - A Detailed Comparison
    To determine which has the least number of atoms between 5g of hydrogen and 10g of helium, we need to calculate the number of atoms in each sample.

    For hydrogen (H), we can use its atomic mass (1.008 g/mol) and Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) to calculate the number of atoms:

    Number of atoms in 5g of hydrogen = (5g / 1.008 g/mol) * (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol)

    = 2.99 x 10^24 atoms

    For helium (He), we can perform a similar calculation using its atomic mass (4.0026 g/mol):

    Number of atoms in 10g of helium = (10g / 4.0026 g/mol) * (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol)

    = 1.50 x 10^24 atoms

    Comparing the number of atoms in 5g of hydrogen (2.99 x 10^24 atoms) and 10g of helium (1.50 x 10^24 atoms), we can conclude that 10g of helium has the least number of atoms.
