OK i just googled diatomic, and it means it has 2 atoms, but how do i work that out.
How many atoms are there in carbon? Is there a specific formula i can use to get the answer?
Carbon is C, the question you're asking is 'how long is a piece of string?' You could say, 'how many carbon atoms in 24g?' That question could be answered.

moles is grams/RAMs, so 16g/32 is 0.5. There are 0.5 moles of oxygen in 16g. There are 0.5 x 6 x 10^23 = 3 x 10^23 atoms in half a mole (16g), so double it and you get back to 6 x 10^23 atoms of oxygen. Hope this makes sense, chances are I am wrong though.
