Question

Use the model of a molecule to answer the question. H H | | H — C — C — O — H | | H H How many atoms of carbon does this molecule have? Responses 2 atoms 2 atoms - no response given 1 atom 1 atom - no response given 6 atoms 6 atoms - no response given 4 atoms

Answer 1

The molecule shown has 2 atoms of carbon. The structure you presented indicates two carbon atoms (C) connected by a bond, with hydrogen (H) atoms attached to each carbon atom. Therefore, the correct response is **2 atoms**.
