Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem has no specific right answer. I can give you two possibilities. If you get the first one wrong, try the second.

1 molecule of BaF2 has

1 Ba 1

2F 2

Total 3

3 molecules have 3 * 3 = 9 atoms

That's one answer

The other is the actual number of atoms in 9 units

1 unit has 6.02 * 10^23 atoms

9 units have 6.02 * 10^23 * 9 = 5.42*10^24

Since the question is unclear, you will have to choose.
