Question

which of these molecules contain carbon? select all that apply.
ozone (o₃)
methane (ch₄)
boron trichloride (bcl₃)
glucose (c₆h₁₂o₆)

Explanation:

To determine which molecules contain carbon, we analyze their chemical formulas:

• Ozone (\(O_3\)): Formula has only oxygen, no carbon.
• Methane (\(CH_4\)): Formula has carbon (C) and hydrogen.
• Boron trichloride (\(BCl_3\)): Formula has boron and chlorine, no carbon.
• Glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)): Formula has carbon (C), hydrogen, and oxygen.

So methane and glucose contain carbon.

Answer:

methane (\(CH_4\)), glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\))
