Why might the expression "1 mole of nitrogen" be confusing?
Key: "1 mole of nitrogen" could be interpreted as a mole of nitrogen atoms or a mole of nitrogen molecules.

What change would remove any uncertainty?
Key: Specify a mole of nitrogen atoms or a mole of nitrogen molecules to avoid confusion.

For what other elements might a similar confusion exist? (Select all that apply.)

Why?
Key: The same problem is possible with other diatomic or polyatomic molecules, e.g., Cl2, Br2, S8, P4.
