What does the chemical formula c3h6o2 tell about a molecule of the compound it represents?
a. it is made up of 3 atoms of 11 different elements.
b. it is made up of 11 atoms joined in a straight line.
c. it is made up of 11 total atoms of 3 different elements.
d. it is made up of 1 atom composed of 3 different elements.

The correct option is C.

Explanation: For a given chemical formula

3 different elements are present in this molecule that are Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Number of Carbon atoms present = 3

Number of Hydrogen atoms = 6

Number of oxygen atoms = 2

Total number of atoms in the given molecule = 3 + 6 + 2 = 11

Hence, This molecule is made up of total 11 atoms of 3 different elements. Therefore, the correct option is C.

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
