I've always been told that it's eight. This is only because the atom has to have the saem protons (positively charged) neutrons and electrons (negatively charged). However this does not occur with all atoms. :)
Answer:
24 atoms
Explanation:
The formula of the compound is C₇H₁₆O
The number of atoms that makes up one molecule of this compound are:
7 carbon atoms
16 hydrogen atoms
1 oxygen atom
The total number of atoms = 7+16+1 = 24 atoms
Answer:
C4H8
Explanation:
First find the molar mass of CH2;
2(1.01) + 1(12.01) = 14.03g
Now divide the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of CH2;
56g/14.03g = 3.9914 Round to nearest whole number = 4
Multiply CH2 by 4 to get the molecular formula;
CH2* 4 = C4H8
