Which describes the correct number and types of atoms in this molecular structure? 1. five c, eight h, two o 2. three c, two o, six h 3. two c, two o, nine h 4. four c, eight h, two o

Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given compound is a di-ketone as it contains two molecules of the functional group .

So, in total there are two and two groups but there is one group.

Hence, we can conclude that in total the correct number and types of atoms in this molecular structure are as follows.

Carbon atoms = 5

Oxygen atoms = 2

Hydrogen atoms = 8
