#"My word it does.............."#

Explanation:

We don't even have to consider the mole, we could consider another number, i.e. consider a single isolated #"nitrous oxide"# molecule, #N_2O#. Clearly, in this isolated molecule, there are two nitrogen atoms, and the one oxygen atom.

And what are the numbers of each atom in #NO_2#, another common molecule?

Remember that the mole is another number, admittedly a very large number, #N_A=6.022xx10^23*mol^-1#.
