Answer:

2 atoms

Explanation:

There are 2 atoms in element NaCl. This is because there is 1 atom of Na (sodium) and 1 atom of Cl (chlorine) in each NaCl molecule. Elements by themselves do not have a "number of atoms"- if you're talking about the atomic number, it's the number of protons (or electrons in a neutral atom) of an element.
