Question

The Atomicity of Glucose molecule is ________.
a) 6
b) 12
c)24
d) 18​

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) 24

Explanation:

As glucose contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms, thus the atomicity is 24.

Answer 2

The Atomicity of the Glucose molecule is (c) 24.

• Atomicity is defined as number of atoms in a molecule or compound have.
• For example- the atomicity of oxygen molecule is 2 because O2 contains 2 oxygen atoms. similarly, the atomicity of HCl is 2, atomicity of HNO3 is 5.
• The formula for glucose is C6H12O6. So it contains 6 carbon, 12 hydrogens and 6 oxygen. the sum of all these three atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen gives the atomicity of glucose. so the atomicity of glucose is 24.
