Question

Acetone (C3H6O) and glucose (C6H12O6) are composed of the same elements. Would you expect these compounds to have the same properties?

A. Yes, they are composed of the same elements.
B. No, they have different ratios and are different compounds.
C. Yes, they are both composed of nonmetals

Answer 1

B. No they have different ratios and are different compounds.

Just like with table salt, NaCl, composed of 2 deadly elements, Sodium and Chlorine. When they are bonded they become something else. Same with acetone and glucose. Different bonds and ratios can completely change the compound.

I hope this helps!
