Question

Each molecule of table sugar, C12H22O11, contains

a.
0 atoms of carbon.
c.
6 atoms of carbon.
b.
1 atom of carbon.
d.
12 atoms of carbon.

Answer 1

d, because C12 means there's 12 atoms of carbon. 

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (d) 12 atoms of carbon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of given molecule of table sugar is,
`C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)`

The given molecule is made up of three elements which are, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

In the given molecule of table sugar
`C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)`, there are 12 number of carbon atoms, 22 number of hydrogen atoms and 11 number of oxygen atoms.

From the given options we conclude that, the option (d) is the correct option. While the other options are incorrect.

Hence, the correct option is, (d) 12 atoms of carbon.
