Depends on the molecule. The easiest way to work it out is to get the chemical formula and add it up from there. Glucose for example is C6H12O6 - that's 3 elements (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) and 24 atoms (6 + 12 + 6). If you're unsure about the elements, count how many capital letters there are in the formula.

How many times larger is the number of hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms in a molecule of water Is the number the same for monosaccharides and for water?

In a molecule of water (H₂O), there are two hydrogen atoms for every one oxygen atom, making the number of hydrogen atoms twice as large as the number of oxygen atoms. This ratio is the same for monosaccharides, such as glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), where there are also twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms. Thus, both water and monosaccharides have a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms.


Is diamond a atom or a molecule?

Diamond is made up of pure carbon. Here one carbon atom is attached to other four carbon atoms. So diamond should be called as molecule. Should be! If it is called as molecule, then it will be too large a molecule. It will be interesting to count the number of atoms in a big diamond. It will not be possible for the human brain to understand such a very high number.
