1. a group of students are generating a statement that accurately describes the chemical formula displayed below. ch3scn what information would accurately complete the statement? move one correct answer to each box. there are - choose the correct answer - elements and - choose the correct answer - total atoms involved in the chemical formula displayed.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify elements
In the chemical formula $CH_3SCN$, the elements are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N). So there are 4 elements.
Step2: Count total atoms
There are 2 carbon atoms (1 in $CH_3$ and 1 in $SCN$), 3 hydrogen atoms in $CH_3$, 1 sulfur atom and 1 nitrogen atom. So in total, $2 + 3+1 + 1=7$ atoms.
Answer:
There are 4 elements and 7 total atoms involved in the chemical formula displayed.
