Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given compound
2Al_2(CO_3)_3

In one molecule of
Al_2(CO3_)_3 there are 9 oxygen atoms.

Then total number of oxygen atoms in two molecules of aluminum carbonate will be:


9* 2=18 atoms

In one
Al_2(CO_3)_3 there are 9 atoms, then 2 molecule of aluminum carbonate there will be 18 atoms.
