Answer

Two atoms of lead.

Work Step by Step

Molar mass of Pb (lead)=$207.2\,g/mol$ That is, the mass of $6.022\times10^{23}$ Pb atoms is equal to 207.2 g. $\implies$ mass of 1 Pb atom=$\frac{207.2\,g}{6.022\times10^{23}}=3.441\times10^{-22}\,g$ Then, the mass of 2 Pb atoms= $2\times3.441\times10^{-22}\,g=6.882\times10^{-22}\,g$ Mass in grams of He= $n\times \text{Molar mass of He}$ $=5.1\times10^{-23}\,mol\times4.0026\,g/mol$ $=2.041\times10^{-22}\,g$ Greater mass is for two atoms of Pb.
