Question

Which of the following is Tetraatomic molecule ch3oh,ch4,h2o2?

Answer 1

H2 O2 is the tetra atomic molecule because it has a two hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms so 2 + 2 Tetra atomic

Answer 2

H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) is a terta atomic molecule.

• Atomicity of elements and molecules is the total number of atoms present in that particular element or compound. A substance can be monoatomic (Ne, He), diatomic (H2, Cl2), triatomic (H2O, CO2), and polyatomic containing more than 3 atoms.
• A terta atomic molecule contains 4 atoms that may be identical or different. H2O2 is an example of terta atomic molecule as it contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms. This adds up to 4 atoms in hydrogen peroxide.
• CH3OH is hexa atomic, containing 6 atoms.

CH4 is a penta atomic molecule with 5 atoms.
