Question

Which of the following best describes the chemical formulas of the compounds C6H12O6 and C3H6O ?(1 point) Responses different types of atoms, different numbers of each type different types of atoms, different numbers of each type different types of atoms, same numbers of each type different types of atoms, same numbers of each type same types of atoms, different numbers of each type same types of atoms, different numbers of each type same types of atoms, same numbers of each type same types of atoms, same numbers of each type

Answer 1

The best description of the chemical formulas C6H12O6 and C3H6O is "different types of atoms, different numbers of each type."

Both formulas contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms, but they have different numbers of these atoms. C6H12O6 (glucose) has 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms, while C3H6O has 3 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom.
