    1.004*10²²

    Explanation:

    The molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol

    which means that:

    1 mole of carbon atoms has a mass of 12 grams.

    Since, diamond is a allotrope of carbon.

    Mass of 1.00-carat diamond in grams is:

    1.00 carat = 0.200 g

    Since, 1 mole of C contains 6.022*10²³ atoms of C

    So,

    12 grams contains 6.022*10²³ atoms of C

    1 gram contains 6.022*10²³ / 12 atoms of C

    0.200 gram contains (6.022*10²³ / 12) * 0.200 atoms of C

    Thus,

    1 carat diamond contains 1.004*10²² atoms of C.
