There are several ways to model a compound. One type of model is shown. A central C attached to 3 C's by 1 line each, each of the 3 C's being attached to 3 H's by a 1 line each. The central C is also attached by 1 line to a C, which is attached to 2 H's and a C by a single line each. The C is attached by 2 lines to an O ad by 1 line to another O. The O with 1 line is attached by 1 line to an H. What is the chemical formula for the molecule modeled? CHO C4H11O2 C6H12O2 C6H9O

Answer:

C6H12O2

Explanation:

The first step in accurately deducing the structure/formula of the model is to count the number of carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms mentioned in the model. This gives the molecular formula of the compound.

Next, you look at there arrangement of atoms and bonds as stated in the model, this tells us the structure of the molecule and confirms the molecular formula initially deduced.

The structure of the compound is shown below.
