Can you tell if a molecule is a carbohydrates?

Answer 1

In the chemical formula there should be twice the amount of hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms and the formula should contain Carbon.

Example: C6H12O6

Answer 2

A carbohydrate must contain at least some carbon, as well as hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio. For example, glucose, C6H12O6, contains carbon, and twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms; therefore, glucose is a carbohydrate.

Answer 3

Carbohydrates are organic molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, typically in a 1:2:1 ratio. By analyzing the molecular structure of a compound and specifically looking for these elements in this ratio, you can determine if a molecule is a carbohydrate. Examples of carbohydrates include sugars, starches, and cellulose.

Answer 4

All Carbohydrates have the general formula "CnH2nOn"

i.e. Glucose: C6H12O6

Answer 5

all carbohydrates have the general formula CnH2nOn hence you can know the chemical formula
