You have the same number of metal ions for each example: "Avogadro's number", which is?????

Explanation:

But it depends on how they worded the question. Cations or anions do not occur in isolation. 1 mol of NiCl_2 formally contains 3 mol of ions: 2xxCl^-; and 1xxNi^(2+).

AS the question currently stands, however, there are N_A metal ions of Cu(I) and Ni(II). Which has the most mass?
