The number 3 in 3O₂ indicates that there are **three molecules of O₂ (diatomic Oxygen)**. The notation O₂ signifies that each molecule of oxygen is made up of two oxygen atoms, so 3O₂ would contain a total of 6 oxygen atoms (3 molecules x 2 atoms per molecule). Therefore, the correct answer is:
**Three molecules of O₂ (diatomic Oxygen)**.
**Three molecules of O₂ (diatomic Oxygen)**.
