Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- Dinitrogen monoxide has 1 nitrogen atom in its formula (N2O)
- Aluminum nitrate has 1 nitrogen atom in its formula (Al(NO3)3)
- Potassium cyanide has 1 nitrogen atom in its formula (KCN)
Therefore, all three compounds have the same number of nitrogen atoms. The answer is C because it lists them in alphabetical order.
