Which molecule contains the smallest number of hydrogen atoms? A) N2H4. B) Al(OH) 3. C) (NH4) 2SO4. D) NH4NO3.
The molecule that contains the fewest number of Hydrogen atoms would be B. Al(OH)3. It only has 3 Hydrogen atoms.
Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In a molecule of \(N_{2}H_{4}\), there are 2 nitrogen atoms and 4 hydrogen atoms.
In a molecule of \(Al(OH)_{3}\), there are one aluminium atom, three oxygen atoms, and three hydrogen atoms.
In a molecule of \((NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}\), there are 2 nitrogen atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and 4 oxygen atoms.
In a molecule of \(NH_{4}NO_{3}\), there are 2 nitrogen atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms.
Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options \(Al(OH)_{3}\) is the molecule which contains the smallest number of hydrogen atoms.
