It could be a carbohydrate.
It couldn't be a protein because proteins also contain nitrogen.
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen!
Pectin is a heteropolysaccharide. This means it is a carbohydrate. As a carbohydrate it contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. That is it, unless the manufacturer added something.
The particular elements and their proportions depend on what the compound is, for example Water contains Hydrogen and Oxygen which Salt contains Sodium and Chlorine.
Compound. H2O contains 2 elements. Hydrogen, of which there are 2, and Oxygen.
Element It is in the periodic table of elements. It contains only hydrogen atoms. Compounds must contain two or more elements, so it isn't a compound.
Any molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon is an organic compound. If the molecule contains no other elements, it is also a hydrocarbon.
A carbohydrate is an organic compound consisting only of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).
A carbohydrate is defined as: Any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars, starch, and cellulose. They contain hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water (2:1) and typically can be broken down to release energy in the animal body.
The number of elements in a compound depends on the compound in question. For example, water is a compound, H2O and it contains TWO different elements; hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Another compound would be ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH and it contains THREE different elements; nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O).
Water, because it contains 2 elements hydrogen and oxygen.
Water is classed as a compound. Sea water which contains salts would be a mixture.A compound - it contains the elements hydrogen & oxygen. (H2O)
