Question

Give the formula, elements and their ratio in Carbon disulphide.

Answer 1

Formula of carbon disulphide:

The formula for carbon disulphide is $\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{CS}}_{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{\right)}$.

Elements of carbon disulphide:

1. Carbon disulphide contains one carbon atom and two sulphur atoms.
2. Thus, the elements are carbon $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{C}\mathbf{\right)}$ and sulphur $\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{S}\mathbf{\right)}$.

Ratio of the elements in carbon disulphide:

1. Carbon disulphide contains one carbon atom and two sulphur atoms.
2. Thus, the ratio of elements is $\mathbf{1}\mathbf{:}\mathbf{2}$.
