Answer:

30 atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

2Ni(H₃O₄)₂

There are two nickel, twelve hydrogen and sixteen oxygen atoms are present in given formula.

The given formula is actually having two moles of Ni(H₃O₄)₂.

Thus in two mole total number of atoms are = 2+12+16 =30 atoms

In one mole there are one nickel atom, six hydrogen atom and eight oxygen atoms are present.

Thus in one one mole total number of atoms are = 1+6+8 =15 atoms

However this compound does not exist.
