(N/A) Atomicity is defined as the total number of atoms present in one molecule of a substance.
$(i)$ In $H_{2}SO_{4}$ (Sulfuric acid):
Number of Hydrogen atoms = $2$
Number of Sulfur atoms = $1$
Number of Oxygen atoms = $4$
Total atoms = $2 + 1 + 4 = 7$
Therefore,the atomicity is $7$.
$(ii)$ In $CCl_{4}$ (Carbon tetrachloride):
Number of Carbon atoms = $1$
Number of Chlorine atoms = $4$
Total atoms = $1 + 4 = 5$
Therefore,the atomicity is $5$.
