  • Number of Atoms in a Glucose Molecule (C6H12O6) - Chemistry Explained
    Here's how to figure out the number of atoms in a molecule of C6H12O6 (glucose):

    * Count the subscripts: The subscripts in the chemical formula tell you how many of each type of atom are present.

    * C6: 6 carbon atoms

    * H12: 12 hydrogen atoms

    * O6: 6 oxygen atoms

    * Add them up: 6 + 12 + 6 = 24 atoms

    Therefore, there are 24 atoms in one molecule of C6H12O6.
