Answer:
C) C₆H₁₂O₆.
Explanation:
- We can determine the molecular formula by calculating the molecular mass of different choices.
Molecular mass = ∑(no. of atoms * atomic mass).
A) CH₂O:
molecular mass = atomic mass of C + 2*atomic mass of H + atomic mass of O = (12.0 g/mol) + (2 * 1.0 g/mol) + (16.0 g/mol) = 30.0 g/mol.
B) C₃H₈O₃:
molecular mass = 3(atomic mass of C) + 8(atomic mass of H) + 3(atomic mass of O) = 3(12.0 g/mol) + 8(1.0 g/mol) + 3(16.0 g/mol) = 92.0 g/mol.
C) C₆H₁₂O₆:
molecular mass = 6(atomic mass of C) + 12(atomic mass of H) + 6(atomic mass of O) = 6(12.0 g/mol) + 12(1.0 g/mol) + 6(16.0 g/mol) = 180.0 g/mol.
D) C₈H₁₆O₈:
molecular mass = 8(atomic mass of C) + 16(atomic mass of H) + 8(atomic mass of O) = 8(12.0 g/mol) + 16(1.0 g/mol) + 8(16.0 g/mol) = 240.0 g/mol.
<em>So, the right choice is: C) C₆H₁₂O₆.</em>

Hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.
Answer:
Cells are of two types: eukaryotic, which contain a nucleus, and prokaryotic, which do not. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms, while eukaryotes can be either single-celled or multicellular.
Explanation:
Answer:
Chemical reactivity increases down a group and decreases from left to right of a period.
Explanation:
The higher the ionization energy is, the lower the reactivity is. Since the ionization energy is highest in the top right corner of the periodic table, we can assume that the most reactive elements are in the opposite bottom left corner. This is because the electrons that react are farther away from the nucleus thus experience less attraction to the nucleus (called nuclear shielding). Therefore their electrons are more easily removed than elements that don't ecperience nuclear shielding.
