Flexi Says: Use the subscripts in a chemical formula to determine the number of atoms per molecule. For example, in the formula of MgF2, there is one Mg atom and 2 fluorine atoms per molecule. So 1 mol of MgF2 molecule has 2 mols of fluorine. Therefore in 5.6×1022 molecules of MgF2, there will be 2 (5.6×1022), or 1.12x1023, atoms of fluorine (F).
