  • Sodium (Na): Atoms vs. Molecules - Understanding Moles
    This is a bit of a trick question! Here's why:

    * Na represents sodium, an element. Elements exist as individual atoms, not molecules.

    * A mole is a unit of measurement for the amount of substance. One mole contains Avogadro's number of particles (6.022 x 10^23).

    Therefore, there are 6.022 x 10^23 sodium atoms in one mole of sodium.
