To find the total number of atoms in one molecule of sucrose (C12H22O11), we can add the number of each type of atom present in the formula:
- Carbon (C): 12 atoms
- Hydrogen (H): 22 atoms
- Oxygen (O): 11 atoms
Now, we can add these together:
12 (C) + 22 (H) + 11 (O) = 45 total atoms
So, the total number of atoms in one molecule of sucrose is **45**.
The correct answer is **C: 45**.
- Carbon (C): 12 atoms
- Hydrogen (H): 22 atoms
- Oxygen (O): 11 atoms
Now, we can add these together:
12 (C) + 22 (H) + 11 (O) = 45 total atoms
So, the total number of atoms in one molecule of sucrose is **45**.
The correct answer is **C: 45**.
