Chapter 20: Q20.2 CYL (page 1101)

Identify the chemical formula of the molecule represented here:

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given molecule has \({C_9}{H_{20}}\)as its chemical formula.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Chemical Formula

A chemical formula is a technique of expressing information on the chemical quantities of atoms that make up a chemical compound or molecule using chemical element symbols, numbers, and other symbols like parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, and plus and minus signs.

02

Explanation for the determination of the chemical formula for the given compound

The given molecule is the skeletal structure in which each corner represents the carbon atom and the valency of each carbon is balanced by hydrogen atoms. The following molecule contains nine carbon atoms and twenty hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the chemical formula of the given molecule is \({C_9}{H_{20}}\).
