Question

Can someone please help me with the correct formula for this?

Answer 1

Answer:

C₂H₄O

CH₃CHO

Explanation:

I'm not sure if you want the molecular formula or the condensed structure, but I will give you both.

Molecular formula:

You have 2 carbons (C₂), 4 hydrogens (H₄), and 1 oxygen (O).  The molecular formula will be C₂H₄O.

Condensed Structure:

You have a carbon bonded to three hydrogens (CH₃).  This carbon is bonded to a carbon that is bonded to a hydrogen and oxygen (CHO).  The condensed structure will be CH₃CHO.
