How many oxygen atoms are represented by the formula Fe(CIO4)3? iron(III) chlorate 3
16
12
4

Explanation:

We are given the chemical formula:

There are 3 elements here:

The question asks for the number of oxygen atoms, so we can just focus on the O in the formula.

The O has a subscript of 4, indicating there are 4 oxygen atoms in the compound. But the compound is also enclosed in parentheses with a subscript of 3. Therefore, there are 3 of the compounds with 4 oxygen atoms.

We can multiply 3 and 4.

There are 12 oxygen atoms.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.

the objects have the same charge is correct.
