Answer:

In all all the given formulas the number of atoms of hydrogen , oxygen and carbon are same that 8,1 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point at which lines are intersecting is denoted as carbon atoms

Number of atoms of different elements in following formulas:

1)
CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-OH

Number of hydrogen atom = 8

Number of carbon atoms = 3

Number of oxygen atoms = 1

2)
CH_3-CH(OH)-CH_3

Number of hydrogen atom = 8

Number of carbon atoms = 3

Number of oxygen atoms = 1

3)
CH_3-CH_2-O-CH_3

Number of hydrogen atom = 8

Number of carbon atoms = 3

Number of oxygen atoms = 1
