Use the model of a molecule to answer the question. H H | | H — C — C — O — H | | H H How many atoms of carbon does this molecule have? (1 point) Responses 1 atom 1 atom 2 atoms 2 atoms 4 atoms 4 atoms 6 atoms 6 atoms
The molecule shown has a total of 3 atoms of carbon.
To determine the number of carbon atoms in the molecule, we count the number of carbon (C) symbols in the model. From the given model, we can see that there are two carbon atoms present. Therefore, the correct answer is "2 atoms".
To determine the number of carbon atoms in the given molecule, we can simply count the occurrences of the element symbol "C". In the given molecule, we can see two occurrences of "C" indicating two atoms of carbon. Therefore, the correct answer is "2 atoms".
