How many atoms are in 1 gram of gold?

Answer 1

----

Golds molecular weight is 196.96 g/mol

Thus, 1g of gold is (1g /196.96 g/mol) = 0.005 mol

----

1 mol is 6.022 × 1023 atoms (Avogadro's Number)

Thus, 0.005 mol is (0.005 mol x 6.022 × 1023 atoms/mol) = 3.057 x 1021 atoms

----

Therefore 1g of gold has APPROXIMATELY 3.057 x 1021 atoms

Answer 2

None. Gold is an element, which means there are atoms of gold, not different atoms that join to form gold. Gold has 79 protons and 79 neutrons in the nucleus of a gold atom. There are 79 electrons orbiting the nucleus.

Answer 3

...Gold is an element. There can be an atom of gold, but since gold isn't a compound, there is no atom within gold.

Answer 4

The smallest bit of Gold you can have is one single atom of Gold.

Answer 5

Gold is the name of the element Au, which is a mono-atomic element

Answer 6

The same as in a mole of anything - 6.022 x 1023
