What is the total number of elements and atoms present in one molecule in kaolinite but number of atoms is either 34 or 26

Accepted Answer

Kaolinite has the chemical formula Al2Si2O5(OH)4. To calculate the total number of elements and atoms, let's break it down:

Elements: Aluminum (Al), Silicon (Si), Oxygen (O), and Hydrogen (H)
Atoms: 2 Al + 2 Si + 5 O + 4 H = 13 atoms
Therefore, one molecule of kaolinite contains 4 different elements and 13 atoms.
