and C3H6O
?(1 point)
Responses

same types of atoms, same numbers of each type
same types of atoms, same numbers of each type

different types of atoms, same numbers of each type
different types of atoms, same numbers of each type

different types of atoms, different numbers of each type
different types of atoms, different numbers of each type

same types of atoms, different numbers of each type

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**same types of atoms, different numbers of each type.**

This is because both compounds, C6H12O6 (glucose) and C3H6O (acetone), contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms, but they have different quantities of each type of atom.
