Question

The following structure is a representation of cytosine, a constituent of the DNA found in all living cells. Only the connections between atoms are shown; multiple bonds are not indicated. Give the molecular formula of cytosine, and complete the structure by showing where the multiple bonds and lone pairs are $(\mathrm{red}=\mathrm{O}$, gray $=\mathrm{C}$, blue $=\mathrm{N}$, ivory $=\mathrm{H})$

Step 1

Count the number of each type of atom in the structure: - There are 4 gray (C) atoms. - There are 3 blue (N) atoms. - There are 1 red (O) atom. - There are 5 ivory (H) atoms. So, the molecular formula of cytosine is Show more…
