Question

write the chemical formula for this molecule: drag the slider to get a different view of the molecule.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify atoms

• Carbon (black): 1
• Hydrogen (white): 3 (attached to C) + 1 (attached to S) = 4
• Sulfur (yellow): 1

Step2: Write formula

Combine atoms: C (1), H (4), S (1) → \( \text{CH}_4\text{S} \) (or methanethiol, \( \text{CH}_3\text{SH} \), but counting H: 3 on C, 1 on S → total 4 H)

Answer:

\( \text{CH}_4\text{S} \) (or \( \text{CH}_3\text{SH} \))
