Number of O atoms : 24
Further explanation
Given
C₆H₁₂O₆ compound
Required
Number of atoms
Solution
A molecular formula shows the number of atomic elements in compound.
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms
Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.
The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules
So number of O atoms :
= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms
