The best description of the chemical formulas of the compounds C₆H₁₂O₆ and C₃H₆O is:
same types of atoms, different numbers of each type.
Both compounds contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), but in different amounts. C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) has 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms, while C₃H₆O (acetone) has 3 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom.
