To identify the elements and the number of atoms in the formula for citric acid (C6H8O7), we will break down the formula into its components:

  1. C (Carbon): There are 6 carbon atoms (C).
  2. H (Hydrogen): There are 8 hydrogen atoms (H).
  3. O (Oxygen): There are 7 oxygen atoms (O).

Now, let's arrange this information into a table format:

| Element | Number of Atoms | |---------|-----------------| | C | 6 | | H | 8 | | O | 7 |

If you have any specific format for dragging tiles, please provide more details to assist you better.
