How many total hydrogen atoms are there in the compound CH3(CH2)2CH3

10 atoms of hydrogen

Explanation:

The atom of an element refers to the smallest indivisible substance of that element that retains its chemical properties. The atoms of an element combine to form a molecule, which then combines with atoms of other elements to form a compound.

In this case, CH3(CH2)2CH3 is a given organic compound. The number of hydrogen atoms can be determined thus:

H represents one hydrogen atom

- We have H3 - 3 atoms

- We have (H2)2 - 4 atoms

- We have H3 - 3 atoms

Altogether, this gives a total of 10 hydrogen atoms in the CH3(CH2)2CH3 compound.
