Maybe this isn't a well defined question, but...
How many molecules have total atomic number n?
There are clearly issues with this question, such as counting
low-temperature helium compounds. Another problem arises from trying to
count, say, all the molecular configurations that could be formed from,
say, 10 carbon atoms. Still, I wonder how far we could go with any
degree of confidence.
