There is no compound with the formula CHO. However, if you meant a sugar such as glucose, the formula is C6H12O6 .

So, the total number of atoms is glucose is 6+12+6 = 24 atoms.

Does C2H5COOH CH3CHO have the same empirical formula?

C2H5COOH: The formula begins with 'C2H5-'. Two carbon atom makes the prefix 'eth' is appropriate. The functional group is '-COOH' meaning this is a carboxylic acid. Hence, the appropriate name would be Ethanoic Acid, otherwise known as Acetic Acid. CH3CHO: This formula is NOT as condensed as the first so we count the total number of carbon atoms; two carbon atoms means the prefix 'eth' is appropriate. The second carbon is connected to the first carbon, a hydrogen AND the oxygen atom. Therefore, the second carbon atom forms a double bond with the oxygen atom. That means the '-CHO' functional group represents an aldehyde. Hence, the appropriate name would be Ethanal. It could also be named Ethyl Aldehyde or, as seen with the last compound, Acetaldehyde.


What is a atom or a group of atoms responsible for the specific properties of an organic compound?

It is called a functional group . Some functional group are Alkanes ; All carbons and hydrogens are singly bonded. (C-C) Alkenes ; There is at least one pair of carbons that are doubly bonded (C=C) Alkynes ; The is at least one pair of carbons that are triply bonded.(C///C) Alcohols ; There is an '-OH' group attached to the end carbon in a chain (R-CH2OH) Aldehydes ; There is a doubly bonded 'carbon = oxygen' on the end on a chain (R-CHO) Carboxylic acids ; to the end carbon in a chain there is a doubly bonded oxygen and a singly bonded hydroxy group ( R-COOH) Esters ; R-C(=O)-O-C-R' Amines ; R- CH2-NH2 Amides ' R- C(=O)-NH2 Thiols ; R-CH2-SH There are many more functional groups, including halogens and cyclic groups. All have different reactivity and chemical properties. 'R' represents the rest of the molecule.


Is iodine solution volatile?

it is very --------- Ions of halogens (including I-) are known as corrosive in solution; also hot iodine and vapours of some salts (ex.: CsI) are corrosive.


What are 4 examples of organic compounds?

CH4, CH3COOH....anything with Carbon except a few such as CO2 C(carbon) CO... It should be also noted that organic compound is rarely put into ratio form, and that the functional group (-CH3 -COOH -CHO etc) is always shown

What atom is not found in either CHO or fat?

Many atoms are not found in 'CHO or fat.' 'Fat' or lipid is a long molecule made up of a string of carbons which are singly or doubly bonded to hydrogens. CHO I would imagine is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Every element that isn't carbon, hydrogen or oxygen is not found in CHO or fat. I have a feeling that this is not the question you meant to ask though.
