Detailed Solution

1 mole of any element contains 6.023 x 1023 number of molecules.

(1) 1 g of CO2- Number of moles=144 Number of molecules= 144×6.022×1023 (2) 1 g of N2 Number of moles of N2=128×6.022×1023 (3) 1 g H2 Number of molecules of H2=12×6.022×1023 (4) 1 g of CH4  Number of molecules= 116×6.022×1023

   6.022×1023 is the same for all compounds, so if we compare the remaining digits in the number of moles.

144<128<116<12

Number of molecules of 1 g CO2 < Number of molecules of 1 g N2 Number of molecules of 1 g CH4 < Number of molecules of 1 g  of H2

 

Hence, the number of molecules is highest in the 1g H2.
