(a)

(b)

(c)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)

Number of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon

Step by step solution

01

Introduction to a molecule

The molecule constitutes different atoms that are bonded to the chemical bond. The molecular formula tells the number of each kind of atom present in the molecule.

02

Step 2:Number of hydrogen atoms in compound

The carbon atom is attached to the four atoms. The hydrogen atom bonded to carbon atoms are as follows:

Number of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon

The compound contains 10 carbon atoms, 11 hydrogen atoms, and 1 nitrogen atom. Therefore, the molecu11lar formula of the compound is C10HN.
