  • \(1\) g \(Au(s)\)
  • \(1\) g \(Na(s)\)
  • \(1\) g \(Li(s)\)
  • \(1\) g \(C_2(g)\)
  • \(1\) g \(O_2(g)\)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Number of atoms is proportional to: \[ \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} \] Smaller molar mass means more atoms for the same mass. Among the options, lithium has the smallest molar mass: \[ M_{Li}\approx 7 \] Hence, \(1\) g of lithium has the largest number of atoms. \[ \boxed{(C)\ 1\text{ g }Li(s)} \]
