I got: #6xx10^18# electrons

Explanation:

Current is a measure of how many charges (in Coulomb) pass through a section of your conductor in one second, or:
#"current"="charge"/"time"#
in your case you have:
#0.5="charge"/2#
so that :
#"charge"=2*0.5=1C#
One electron has a charge of #1.6xx10^-19C#

So in our case we will have:

#"number of electrons"="total charge"/"charge of one electron"=1/(1.6xx10^-19)=6.25xx10^18~~6xx10^18#electrons
