1. using the picture above, how many atoms of hydrogen are in the compound? *

your answer

1. how many total atoms are in glucose (use the picture above)? *

your answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify hydrogen atoms

The formula is $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$. The sub - script of hydrogen is 12, so there are 12 hydrogen atoms.

Step2: Calculate total atoms

Add the number of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. So the total number of atoms is $6 + 12+6=24$.

Answer:

1. 12
2. 24
