Question

the chemical formula for glucose is ______. \\(\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c_6h_6o_6}}\\) \\(\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c_{12}h_6o_{12}}}\\) \\(\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c_{12}h_{22}o_{11}}}\\) \\(\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c_6h_6o_{12}}}\\) \\(\boldsymbol{\mathrm{c_6h_{12}o_6}}\\)

Explanation:

Glucose is a monosaccharide with the chemical formula \( C_6H_{12}O_6 \). The other options have incorrect numbers of hydrogen, carbon, or oxygen atoms. For example, \( C_6H_6O_6 \) has too few hydrogens, \( C_{12}H_6O_{12} \) and \( C_6H_6O_{12} \) have incorrect atom ratios, and \( C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} \) is the formula for sucrose (a disaccharide), not glucose.

Answer:

The fifth option (the one with \( C_6H_{12}O_6 \))
