When we define mass in terms of a number of atoms, the occult aspect
of equal and opposite forces between planet surface objects and
planets vanish. The resistance of a planet surface object when defined
in terms of weight and quantified in terms of a number of atoms can
hardly be set equivalent to the resistance of the atoms composing the
planet.

Please tell us what experiments prove that the weight of a body is
NOT proportional to the number of atoms.

Note. In Newton's terms the mass is proportional to (not "equal" to)
the weight of its atoms. In his mind, an atom is the smallest bit of
matter and ALL of them are identical. Given that the weight and mass
of an atom depends on what element it represents, perhaps it would be
clearer if I said: Please tell us what experiments prove that the
weight of a body is NOT proportional to the average weight of its
atoms times the total number of atoms.

In my terms, the weight of a body is NOT the same as its mass. To
find its weight, you weigh it. Since unstructured "dark" matter has
no weight, however, its mass (amount of matter in it) cannot be found
by weighing it.

It's called binding energy of the molecular bond.
An H2 molecule's mass is not twice the mass of a single hydrogen ion.

Your using binding energy in the wrong direction. That energy is a
part of the total mass. Binding energy is used to explain the missing
total mass in the measure of the separate products of an experiment.
It is an accepted patch.
The reason force can be defined as equal and opposite wrt to planet
surface objects and planets is because "force" begins and ends in our
measured effort. Our measured effort will always be equal to the
objective resistance we act on, or that acts on us. F=mg and/or F=ma.
This does not even imply that mass generates a universal force, unless
we assign the force we feel to all inanimate objects based solely on
their objective resistance.. We generate the force. Mass provides the
resistance we must counter. We feel and generate the force. It begins
and ends in our body and effort. To assign the force we feel and
generate, to inanimate object resistance is error.

In other words when we lift an object the force we exert will always
be equal to the object's weight. It's resistance will be equal and
opposite to our effort. Our effort is the force. The objective measure
of resistance is the weight mg. There is nothing objective about the
force we feel except the resistance that causes it. Our effort cannot
be generalized to the effort of the planet. Inanimate objects exert no
effort. The planet attractor acts on atoms. All atoms fall at the same
rate. We lift the cumulative sum of the atoms in an object. The planet
attractor pulls on the atoms and we lift the object.

We can combine 2 moles of hydrogen with 1 mole of oxygen to build 1
mole of water (pretty near or at least theoretical). A mole is a unit
of relative weight directly convertible to a number of atoms for each
element (just reverse Avogadro calcs). We balance equations for
optimal yield all the time where 2H and H2 reprresent the identical
number of atoms. Using a catalyst or electrolysis we break down the
stable H2 into the nascent 2H and we balance the equation (chemical
balancing) where 2H and H2 add on either side equivalently.
