Answer:

No we can’t cover the earth with one mole of pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

We can’t cover the earth with one mole of pennies due to the fact that making this possible will require the flattening and extra expansion before it covers the whole surface.

The extra expansion and flattening with result in the loss of intermolecular forces and won’t remain as a solid and form other states of matter which won’t be able to cover the surface.
