Which has more molecules: a kilogram of hydrogen or a kilogram of oxygen?

A kilogram of hydrogen is having more molecules.

Explanation:
For hydrogen that value is 1.008. For oxygen it’s 16.00. That means however many times you can divide the mass by its molar mass, So for example 1000g (1kg) / 1.008 is approximately 992 moles of hydrogen. And 1000g/16.00 is 62.5 moles of Oxygen. Now to put it all together, one mole is equal to 6.02x10^23 molecules so obviously since there are more moles of hydrogen, you would have a significantly larger amount of hydrogen.
