Answer:


C_(2)H_(2)O

aka Ethenone

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethenone is an organic compound made out of the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. It is an example of a covalent molecule. The Hydrogens are single bonded to the carbon and then the carbons and oxygen are double-bonded to each other. Additionally, because there are 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen the ratio is 2:1, as stated in the question.
