Identify the quantity given: 0.250 moles of rubidium (Rb).
Recall that one mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles (atoms, in this case), which is \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) atoms/mole.
Set up the calculation to find the number of atoms by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number: \(\text{Number of atoms} = 0.250 \text{ moles} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ atoms/mole}\).
Perform the multiplication to get the total number of atoms (do not calculate the final value here, just set up the expression).
Express the answer in scientific notation to match the format of the options provided.
