Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the correct formula of glucose?
A
6 oxygen, 6 carbon, 6 hydrogen
B
6 hydrogen, 6 Carbon, 12 oxygen
C
6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen
D
6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 22 oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose has a chemical formula of: C6H12O6 That means glucose is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. You will be building one type of sugar called glucose. Glucose is produced during photosynthesis and acts as the fuel for many organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose molecule model, molecule is formed from 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms linked together. The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6.

Detailed explanation-3: -C6H12O6 C 6 H 12 O 6-It is the molecular formula of glucose. Here, C6 indicates that the number of carbon atoms present in glucose is 6. H12 refers that the number of hydrogen atoms present in glucose as 12.

Detailed explanation-4: -The reaction equation has the form C6H12O6 + xO2-> yCO2 + zH2O. Balancing carbons, y=6. Balancing hydrogens, z=6, so by balancing oxygen atoms, x=6.
