Answer:

Pb (Lead) = 1 atom

N (Nitrogen) = 2 atoms

O (Oxygen) = 6 atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of moles of each element present in the given compound

Firstly, we list out the elements

Pb -Lead

N-Nitrogen

O-oxygen

We have 1 mole of lead clearly

For nitrogen, we multiply the subscript outside with the subscript inside. If the inner subscript is missing, we replace by 1

Thus, nitrogen has a total 2 * 1= 2 atoms

Oxygen follows same pattern as nitrogen and we have 2 * 3 = 6 atoms
