Explanation:

Step1: Calculate number of H atoms in 6 water molecules

Each water ($H_2O$) molecule has 2 H - atoms. So for 6 water molecules, the number of H - atoms is $2\times6 = 12$.

Step2: Calculate total number of H atoms in products

Since there are 0 H - atoms in 6 $CO_2$ molecules and 12 H - atoms in 6 $H_2O$ molecules, the total number of H - atoms in products is 12.

Step3: Calculate number of O atoms in 6 carbon - dioxide molecules

Each carbon - dioxide ($CO_2$) molecule has 2 O - atoms. So for 6 $CO_2$ molecules, the number of O - atoms is $2\times6=12$.

Step4: Calculate total number of O atoms in products

There are 12 O - atoms in 6 $CO_2$ molecules and 6 O - atoms in 6 $H_2O$ molecules. So the total number of O - atoms in products is $12 + 6=18$.

Step5: Calculate total number of C atoms in products

There are 6 C - atoms in 6 $CO_2$ molecules and 0 C - atoms in 6 $H_2O$ molecules. So the total number of C - atoms in products is 6.

Answer:

Type of atom	Number of atoms in 6 molecules of carbon dioxide	Number of atoms in 6 molecules of water	Total number of atoms in products
C	6	0	6
O	12	6	18
