Certainly! The formula for citric acid (C6H8O7) includes three different types of elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Here’s how you can organize the elements and their respective number of atoms:
| Element | Number of Atoms |
|---------|-----------------|
| Carbon (C) | 6 |
| Hydrogen (H) | 8 |
| Oxygen (O) | 7 |
If CH2COOH was meant to refer to a simplified version of citric acid, it's actually not correct, as the correct formula should be C6H8O7. If you meant a different compound or needed a breakdown of the formula you provided, please clarify!
