Answer:

Hydrogen (since this is all the info I'm working with)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need to know how which substance has the most amount of molecules, we would need to look at the Atomic masses of these elements. Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1.01g/mol whereas something like oxygen has an atomic mass of 16.00g/mol. Judging this, we can determine since a mole is made up of 6.02*10^23 molecules(Avogadro's number), and we have 1/1.01grams of hydrogen, we can deduce that Hydrogen would contain the largest amount of molecules
