6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, 6 oxygen atoms.
12 carbon atoms. 2(C6H12O6). Two glucose molecules which each contain 6 carbon atoms.
Well the 2 at the beginning means there are 2 of the whole molecule. So it's 2(C6H12O6):
C: 6x2 = 12 Carbon
H: 12x2 = 24 Hydrogen
O: 6x2 = 12 Oxygen

NO!!! Carbon atoms are not a compound Oxygen atoms are not a compound. However, they do combine to form the compound carbon dioxide (CO2)
The letters represents the atom (or element) in the compound. In this case, there are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in this compound. The numbers behind the letters represents the number of each atoms in the compound. For the example, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms in the compound. based on this, we can tell that the compound here is glucose (C6H12O6) since all compounds and elements have different chemical formula (also all those numbers and letters). The number in front of the first letter represents the number of such molecules/compounds. Since it is given as 6C6H12O6, we can deduce that there are 6 glucose molecules in it.
Citrate is a C6 compound i.e. there are 6 carbon atoms present in Citrate.
Loads of things: ratio of hydrogen atoms to carbon atoms (2:1 makes a carbohydrate) and bonding of other elements in the compound (making amines, acids, alcohols, amino acids, etc.) are two big ones.
In carbon tetrachloride molecule,four atoms of chlorine are present.

Carbon is tetravalent. So, it can bond with maximum of four atoms.
NO!!! Carbon atoms are not a compound Oxygen atoms are not a compound. However, they do combine to form the compound carbon dioxide (CO2)

Yes, chemical formulas show the number of atoms in a compound. Water is H2O -- two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. Carbon dioxide is CO2 -- one carbon and two oxygen atoms.
methane is a compound as one carbon atoms combines with 4 hydrogen atoms.
No: If a material contained carbon atoms only, it would be an element, not a compound.
