What compounds contain one nitrogen atom for every three oxygen atoms?
Nitrates
Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen contain oxygen atoms and silicon contain silicon atoms.
Do hydrocarbon molecules always contain hydrogen carbon and oxygen atoms?
No.Hydrocarbon molecules contain hydrogen and carbon atoms.It is carbohydrate molecules that contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms.
How many oxygen atoms are there in 3.45 grams of H2O?
3,45 grams of H2O contain 1,154.10e23 oxygen atoms.
Which atoms are found in nitrates?
Nitrates are ionic compounds that are formed with a cation (a positive ion) which is typically a metallic element with the polyatomic (many atom) ion nitrate (NO3). Therefore, nitrates always have 1 nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms in addition to what ever atoms are in the cation to which it is bonded. An example would be potassium nitrate (KNO3) or silver nitrate (AgNO3)
What compounds contain one nitrogen atom for every three oxygen atoms?
Nitrates
Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen contain oxygen atoms and silicon contain silicon atoms.
How many atoms are contained in 5.26 moles of oxygen?
5,26 moles of oxygen contain 31,676.10e23 atoms.
Does Sulfhydryl contain oxygen atoms?
No. Sulfur takes the place of oxygen.
Is zeaxanthin the same as violaxanthin?
In a way no because, xanthophylls contain oxygen atoms, while carotenes are purely hydrocarbons with no oxygen. Xanthophylls contain their oxygen either as hydroxyl groups and/or as pairs of hydrogen atoms that are substituted by oxygen atoms acting as a bridge
Do hydrocarbon molecules always contain hydrogen carbon and oxygen atoms?
No.Hydrocarbon molecules contain hydrogen and carbon atoms.It is carbohydrate molecules that contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms.
What are nitrites?
a nitrite is a salt of nitrous acid with an ion composed of one nitrogen and two oxygen atoms with a net charge of -1 NO2-
How many oxygen atoms are there in 3.45 grams of H2O?

What do oxygen molecules contain?
Molecules of oxygen contain 2 oxygen atoms. Oxygen is a diatomic gas, meaning that it exists in pairs of atoms when in pure gas form. Other diatomic gasses include hydrogen and nitrogen.
What are the atoms that are in CH3COOH?
This molecule contain: 2 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, 2 oxygen atoms.
What other things have hydrogen and oxygen atoms?
Many, many compounds contain either hydrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, or both. Far too many to list here, in fact.Most prominently water and hydrogen peroxide both contain nothing but oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
