the number of atoms in a kilogram of any substance

Explanation

Avogadro’s number is the number of elementary particles in one mole of a substance: about 6.022 × 10²³ particles. Depending on the substance, those particles can be atoms, molecules, ions, or formula units. Therefore, the correct choice is “the number of atoms, molecules, ions, formula units, or other particles in a mole of a substance.”
