Advances in the field of nanotechnology have made it possible to construct chains of single metal atoms

Question:

Advances in the field of nanotechnology have made it possible to construct chains of single metal atoms linked one to the next. Physicists are particularly interested in the ability of such chains to conduct electricity with little resistance. Estimate how many gold atoms would be required to make such a chain long enough to wear as a necklace. How many would be required to make a chain that encircled the Earth? If 1 mole of a substance is equivalent to roughly 6.022 × 1023 atoms, how many moles of gold are required for each necklace?
