C,H and O atoms
C,H and O atoms
The macromolecules that are composed primarily of C, H, and O are lipids and carbohydrates.
The only three atoms found in carbohydrates are Carbon (C), Oxygen (O), and Hydrogen (H). They are named carbohydrates after these three elements, carbo from carbon and hydratefrom water, which is H2O.
yes and a few more but having the same basic atoms doesnt mean its the same thing. lipids contain carbon and hydrogen carbohydarates contian carbon and hydrogen as well but they also contain oxygen ratios of the number of certain atoms in them are differnet
C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1 thus CH2O is the simplest ratio formula
1:2:1 c: h: o
C2H5 (neutral- no overall charge) is a free radical. Its Lewis dot structure will be two horizontal C atoms covalently bonded. One C atom will be single bonded to three H atoms. The other C atom will be bonded to two H atoms and have one electron unpaired.
They all contain C, O, H&The ratio H to C is fixed at 2:1
Strictly speaking, there isn't one. Carbohydrates have the general formula Cx(H2O)y. Y may be equal to X, but it doesn't have to be (it usually will be for simple carbohydrates, but not for complex carbohydrates); the only ratio that's fixed is hydrogen to oxygen at 2:1.
