Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the atoms in the molecule

The molecule contains the following atoms:

  • 2 Carbon (C)
  • 1 Oxygen (O) in a double bond
  • 1 Oxygen (O) in a single bond
  • 1 Hydrogen (H)
  • 3 Fluorine (F)
Step 2: Count the number of each type of atom

From the structure, we can count:

  • Carbon (C): 2
  • Oxygen (O): 2
  • Hydrogen (H): 1
  • Fluorine (F): 3
Step 3: Write the chemical formula

Combine the counts of each type of atom to write the chemical formula:

  • C₂O₂HF₃

Final Answer

The chemical formula for the molecule is C₂O₂HF₃.
