How can we count things that are as small as atoms?

We use Avogadro's number(6.02 x 10²³) to count particles (atoms, molecules, formula units)

1. If 1,000 grains of rice weigh 21 g, how could you find the mass of one grain of rice without a scale?

we would take the 21 grams of rice and divide 1000 grains which means that every one grain of rice weighs 0.021 grams
21 g / 1,000 grains = 0.021 g/grain
