What would <strong>the</strong> answers in <strong>the</strong> table be for a molecule of fruit sugar, C 6 H 12 O 6 ?2. From <strong>the</strong> formulas given, identify each of <strong>the</strong> following as ei<strong>the</strong>r an element or a compound:NaCl, Ag, Co, CO, SO 2 ,AgBr.3. Each carbon atom can be attached to up to four o<strong>the</strong>r atoms. The compound hexane has sixcarbon atoms joined toge<strong>the</strong>r in a chain. If only carbon <strong>and</strong> hydrogen make up <strong>the</strong> hexanemolecule, what is <strong>the</strong> greatest number of hydrogen atoms that could be in <strong>the</strong> molecule? Drawa picture of <strong>the</strong> molecule to help you.4. Nitrogen in air is in <strong>the</strong> form of two nitrogen atoms fastened toge<strong>the</strong>r, N 2 .Is nitrogen anelement or is it a compound?
