  • Hydrogen and Chlorine Atoms: Understanding Atomic Composition
    This question is a bit tricky! Here's why:

    * Hydrogen (H): Hydrogen is a diatomic element, meaning it naturally exists as a molecule with two hydrogen atoms bonded together (H₂). So, a single molecule of hydrogen gas has 2 atoms.

    * Chlorine (Cl): Chlorine is also a diatomic element, existing as Cl₂. Therefore, a single molecule of chlorine gas has 2 atoms.

    To be specific:

    * A hydrogen molecule (H₂) has 2 hydrogen atoms.

    * A chlorine molecule (Cl₂) has 2 chlorine atoms.
