Answer:

5 atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A molecule is a particle of a compound or an element that is made up of two or more atoms.
  • A compound is made up atoms from different elements. For example, A compound such as Mg(OH)₂ is made up of 1 magnesium atom, 2 oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms.
  • An element on the other hand is made up of similar atoms. Most elements contain one atom while others such as oxygen and hydrogen are made up of two atoms.
