Well, what are the molar masses of each element?

Explanation:

"Silicon," 28.1*g*mol^-1.

"Selenium," 79.0*g*mol^-1.

"Tin," 118.7*g*mol^-1.

"Sulfur," 32.1*g*mol^-1.

And clearly, because silicon has the LOWEST atomic mass, a 2.00*g mass of silicon, has the GREATEST number of atoms. How many atoms does this mass of silicon contain?
