    7.99 * 10⁸ atoms

    Explanation:

    The diameter of Molybdenum atom is 418pm = 0.000000000418m

    therefore to determine number of Mo Atoms that'll be required =

    0.334 : 0.000000000418 = 7.99 * 10⁸ atoms

    Mass of one Mo atom = 1.59*10⁻²² g

    Mass of 7.99 * 10⁸ atoms that'll be required = 1.59*10⁻²² * 7.99 * 10⁸ =

    12.7041 * 10⁻¹³g.
