Select the chemical formula for this molecule.

[ "CH", "C4H", "C2H4", "CH4" ]

D

C is the symbol for carbon. According to the legend, carbon atoms are shown in dark gray. H is the symbol for hydrogen. According to the legend, hydrogen atoms are shown in light gray. This ball-and-stick model shows a molecule with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. The chemical formula will contain the symbols C and H. There is one carbon atom, so C will not have a subscript. There are four hydrogen atoms, so H will have a subscript of 4. The correct formula is CH4. The diagram below shows how each part of the chemical formula matches with each part of the model above.
