The molecular formula 6H20 means there are 6 water molecules and 12 hydrogen atoms. True or False?

False.

The molecular formula 6H₂O indicates that there are 6 water molecules, but it does not mean there are 12 hydrogen atoms alone. Each water molecule (H₂O) consists of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Therefore, in 6 water molecules, the total number of hydrogen atoms is actually 6 multiplied by 2, which equals 12 hydrogen atoms, but this is stating the composition of water molecules, not suggesting there are additional separate hydrogen atoms. So while 6H₂O contains 12 hydrogen atoms, the statement might lead to confusion regarding the counting of atoms when stated. Hence, the statement is false as it does not clarify the context of the oxygen present in the formula.
