Answer:

6.02 × 10²³ atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Avogadro number, the one mole of any substance have 6.02 × 10²³ atoms.

The number 6.02 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number. it is the number of atoms, ions or molecules in one gram atoms of element, one gram ions of substance or one gram molecules of a compound.

For one mole of magnesium.

24.305 g of Mg = 1 mole of magnesium = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of magnesium.

Other example includes:

18 g of water = one mole of water = 6.02 × 10²³ molecules of water.

23 g of sodium = one mole of sodium = 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of sodium.
