A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is neither a standard definition of a metalloid nor complete agreement on the elements appropriately classified as such
The chemical formula that represents an aldehyde is C2H4O. The answer is letter C. CH3COOH is a carboxylic acid. C2H5OH is an alcohol and C6H10O5 is an ether. An aldehyde has an alkyl group with a fromyl group attached to it or –CHO.
Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. This means that oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons you take the atomic weight in this case 15.9999~16 and you subtract it by the number of protons (16-8).
