Question

station 4
chemical formulas
which compound contains the most number of atoms?
o₃
ozone
cocl₂
phosgene
c₃h₈
propane
nh₄clo₄
ammonium perchlorate
e. ozone
f. phosgene
g. propane
h. ammonium perchlorate

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate number of atoms in Ozone

Ozone is \(O_3\). Number of atoms \(=3\)

Step2: Calculate number of atoms in Phosgene

Phosgene is \(COCl_2\). Number of atoms \(=1 + 1+2=4\)

Step3: Calculate number of atoms in Propane

Propane is \(C_3H_8\). Number of atoms \(=3 + 8=11\)

Step4: Calculate number of atoms in Ammonium Perchlorate

Ammonium Perchlorate is \(NH_4ClO_4\). Number of atoms \(=1+4 + 1+4=10\)

Answer:

G. Propane
