Question

george is studying compounds that are found in living things. he makes a table of the numbers of each type of atom found in two compounds. atoms in compounds glucose stearic acid number of carbon atoms 6 18 number of hydrogen atoms 12 36 number of oxygen atoms 6 2 what can george conclude from his table? many compounds can be made by different combinations of the same elements the two compounds are not composed of simpler substances an infinite number of elements are needed to make all of the different substances found in living things only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms combine in different ways to make all the substances in living things

Explanation:

Glucose and stearic - acid are both made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different quantities. This shows that different combinations of the same elements can form many compounds. Compounds are made of simpler substances (elements), a finite number of elements are used in living - things, and there are more elements involved in living - things substances than just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Answer:

Many compounds can be made by different combinations of the same elements
