One mole of copper equals 6.02 × 10^23 atoms. The answer is letter C. This follows the Avogaro’s law wherein 1 mole of a substance is equal to 6.02 x 10^23 atoms, formula units or molecules. This is applicable to all substances.

Answer: The correct answer is Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an element or compound contains
6.022\time 10^(23) number of particles.

The number is called as Avogadro's number.

We are given:

One mole of a copper element

This element will have the Avogadro's number of particles which is
6.02* 10^(23)

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.
