Think about what the letters and numbers in the chemical formula for propane, must mean label each item shown in the diagram

Answer 1

In the chemical formula for propane (C3H8):

- C represents carbon. Propane contains three carbon atoms (shown in the diagram).
- H represents hydrogen. Propane contains eight hydrogen atoms (shown in the diagram).
- The subscript 3 indicates that there are three carbon atoms in the molecule.
- The subscript 8 indicates that there are eight hydrogen atoms in the molecule.

Here's how you can label each item shown in the diagram:
1. Carbon atom
2. Carbon atom
3. Carbon atom
4. Hydrogen atom
5. Hydrogen atom
6. Hydrogen atom
7. Hydrogen atom
8. Hydrogen atom
9. Hydrogen atom
10. Hydrogen atom
11. Hydrogen atom
12. Hydrogen atom
