How does the number of the families relate to the charges of ions that they form?

We have the atoms, and we have the molar mass of Vanadium (listed in the periodic table) which should be 50.94g/mol.

The first step is to convert the 4.18 x 10^23 atoms into moles by dividing the atoms by Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23)  

(4.18 x 10^23)/(6.02 x 10^23) = 0.694 moles

Now we know that moles is equal to the mass divided by the molar mass. So now that we have the moles and the molar mass of Vanadium, we can rearrange the equation to find mass. Once you have rearranged it, you have to multiply the moles by the molar mass.

So 0.694 moles x 50.94g/mol = 35.35g of V
