Answer to Problem 1PE
The chemical formula of the compound is C2H6O
Explanation of Solution
The chemical compounds are made up of polyatomic ions and the ratio of positive to negative ions present in the substance is expressed as formula of ionic compound. In the above example, the black spheres represent carbon atoms; the red, oxygen atoms; and the white represents hydrogen atoms. From the diagram, we come to know that,
Number of carbon atoms = 2
Number of hydrogen atoms = 6
Number of oxygen atom = 1
