Question

Glucose is a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Glucose $\left({\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6\right)$ is a compound containing Carbon $\left(\mathrm{C}\right)$, Hydrogen $\left(\mathrm{H}\right)$ and Oxygen $\left(\mathrm{O}\right)$.

Compound: A compound is a pure substance in which elements combine chemically in a fixed composition to give a compound.

• They can be broken down into elements that make up the compound by using chemical or electrochemical methods.
• Example: Water $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$, Common salt i.e. Sodium chloride $\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$

Therefore, the given statement is false.
