Question

which statement correctly describes glucose (c₆h₁₂o₆)? it is made of matter and contains twenty - four molecules. it is an element made of three types of atoms. it is an atom made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. it is a compound made of twenty - four total atoms.

Explanation:

Glucose ($C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$) is a compound. The sub - script numbers indicate the number of atoms of each element. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms, making a total of 24 atoms. It is not an element (which is a pure substance made of only one type of atom), nor is it a single atom. It is made of matter but the description of containing twenty - four molecules is incorrect.

Answer:

It is a compound made of twenty - four total atoms.
