The total number of atoms is 3.

Make sure to not confuse elements with atoms. Elements are substances used in a chemical equation that cannot be broken down. There are two elements in H2O: hydrogen and oxygen.

Atoms in the compound is the number of elements. Hydrogen would be one atom, but since it has a subscript of 2, it would mean that there are two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen is another atom, however, it does not have a subscript. Don't make that fool you because there is actually a subscript which is the understood one. That is why there are three atoms.

Hope this helps!!!

Which ONE of the following compounds is least soluble in water?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

B) CH3CH2CH2F

Explanation:

All the other compounds listed among the options are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water except CH3CH2CH2F.

Recall that hydrogen bonds are formed when hydrogen is directly bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, sulphur, et cetra.

Such bonds are not present in CH3CH2CH2F, rather fluorine is bonded to carbon to give a halogenoalkane. This compound will display the least solubility in water.
