Alkanes, specifically the straight-chain alkanes, have the highest number of hydrogen atoms per carbon atom. For example, in ethane (C2H6), there are three hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom. As the number of carbon atoms increases in alkanes, the ratio of hydrogen to carbon remains maximized at 2:1 for saturated hydrocarbons.
Table sugar - sucrose - contains 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms per molecule. Other sugars have different formulae.
There are 6 atoms per molecule. The 2 at the beginning is not part of the chemical formula.
There is no single such number, but if the carbohydrate has a sufficiently high molecular weight, the value approaches two hydrogen atoms per carbon atom from above.
There are many atoms in a sample of carbon, although there are many different particles in that atom. Adfditional answer You may actually be asking "Is carbon made of only one TYPE of atom?". Answer - they are all carbon atoms but there is more than one type of carbon atom. The different ypes are known as isotopes. Most elements have several isotopes. (Don't confuse an isotope with an allotrope, e.g. diamond is an allotrope of carbon but itself can be made of several isotopes of carbon)
Sugar is glucose (C6H12O6) (Oh, I wish I could make the numbers small) Which means it has (per particle) 6 Carbon atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms and 6 Oxygen atoms.
An alkane with six carbon atoms would be hexane (C6H14). Since each carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms in an alkane, you would have 6 carbon atoms x 2 hydrogen atoms per carbon = 12 hydrogen atoms.
5 molecules of carbon dioxide will contain 5 carbon atoms (1 per molecule) and no hydrogen atoms as carbon dioxide contains only carbon and oxygen. The 5 molecules will contain a total of 10 oxygen atoms (2 per molecule).
A butane molecule has four carbon atoms (at six protons each) and ten hydrogen atoms (at one proton each). It will make a total of 34 protons per molecule.
Table sugar - sucrose - contains 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms per molecule. Other sugars have different formulae.
In one molecule of C3H8 (propane), there are eight hydrogen atoms. This can be determined by looking at the subscript attached to the hydrogen (H) in the chemical formula C3H8. The subscript of 8 indicates that there are eight hydrogen atoms present in each molecule of propane.
In C6H12, each carbon atom forms four sigma bonds, and hydrogen forms one sigma bond. Since there are 6 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms present, the total number of sigma bonds would be (6 carbon atoms x 4 sigma bonds per carbon) + (12 hydrogen atoms x 1 sigma bond per hydrogen) = 24 + 12 = 36 sigma bonds.
The molecular formula of methane is CH4. Therefore, the number of atoms per molecule is 5, the fraction of the atoms that are carbon is 1/5 and the fraction of the atoms that are hydrogen is 4/5.
It depends on the sugar. The monosaccharides glucose, fructose, and galactose have the molecular formula C6H12O6, and therefore have 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms per molecule. The disaccharides sucrose and maltose have the molecular formula C12H22O11, and therefore have 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms per molecules.
A molecule of glucose has 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen. Therefore, to build four molecules of glucose, you would need 48 atoms of hydrogen (12 atoms of hydrogen per molecule of glucose multiplied by 4 molecules).
There are 6 atoms per molecule. The 2 at the beginning is not part of the chemical formula.
There is no single such number, but if the carbohydrate has a sufficiently high molecular weight, the value approaches two hydrogen atoms per carbon atom from above.
Molecuar, because it is made of hydrogen and carbon which are both nonmetals
