It could be a carbohydrate.
It couldn't be a protein because proteins also contain nitrogen.
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen!
Pectin is a heteropolysaccharide. This means it is a carbohydrate. As a carbohydrate it contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. That is it, unless the manufacturer added something.
Compound. H2O contains 2 elements. Hydrogen, of which there are 2, and Oxygen.
The compound CH4 contains one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
A carbohydrate is an organic compound consisting only of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).
It's a compound--one part carbon, one part oxygen, two parts hydrogen, such as C6H12O6. A simple alcohol is not a carbohydrate, even though it contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, because the ratios are all wrong. Look at ethanol. It consists of ethane, a hydrocarbon with the formula C2H6, with one hydrogen atom replaced by a hydroxyl group--an OH--making the formula for ethanol C2H5OH.
No, NH4NO3 is not a binary compound because it contains nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are more than two different elements. It is a ternary compound because it contains three different elements.
The number of elements in a compound depends on the compound in question. For example, water is a compound, H2O and it contains TWO different elements; hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Another compound would be ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH and it contains THREE different elements; nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O).
The molecular formula of the compound is NH4NO3, which is ammonium nitrate. This compound contains nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen elements, with a molecular mass of approximately 63.008 amu.
Water is classed as a compound. Sea water which contains salts would be a mixture.A compound - it contains the elements hydrogen & oxygen. (H2O)
