1.5 mol of the complex substance carbon dioxide (CO2) is just a few oxygen atoms:

9.03 x 10²³atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of CO₂  = 1.5mol

Unknown:

Number of atoms  = ?

Solution:

In a mole of a substance, we have the Avogadro's number of particles which is 6.02 x 10²³atoms.

  Using this number, we can determine the amount of atoms in any substance.

If;

       1 mole of CO₂ contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms;

     1.5mole of CO₂ will contain 1.5 x 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

                                                = 9.03 x 10²³atoms

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.
