Hi everyone here we have a question telling us that a three D. Model of a compound is shown below. White spheres represent hydrogen gray represents carbon and yellow represents sulfur identifies molecular and structural formula. So let's see what we have. We have one, 23 gray, Which means we have three carbon. We have one White. So we have six hydrogen. We have one yellow, so we have one sulfur. So now we're going to use our number of atoms S subscript. So we're going to have for our molecular formula C three H six S. And now for our structural formula, we're actually going to look at our groups. So if we look here we see we have one two ch three groups, So that would be CH three two and then our other carbon and our sulfur. So here is our molecular formula and here is our structural formula. Thank you for watching. Bye.
