There are several ways to model a compound. One type of model is shown. 4 C's are connected in a line by 3 black lines. The C on the left has 3 H's attached to it each by a black line. The next C has 1 H attached by a black line and 1 O attached by 2 black lines. The next C has 2 H's attached to it by 1 black line each. The last C has 2 H's attached to it by 1 black line each and 1 O attached by a single black line. That O has an H attached to it by 1 black line.
What is the chemical formula for the molecule represented by the model?

A. CHO
B. C4H9O2
C. C4H8O
D. C3H8O2

Answer : The chemical formula for the molecule is C4H902

Explanation :

Molecular formula : It is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Structural formula : It is a formula in which the lines are used between the bonded atoms and the atoms are also shown in the structural formula.

In the structural formula, the lines are used between the atoms.

As per given information of compound we conclude that, there are 4 carbon atoms, 9 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.

Thus, the chemical formula for the given molecule will be, C4H902

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
