Science Question

Does anyone know what the name is for H3COCH3 and how many atoms it has in total?

I think you can add up the atoms yourself, It has the same formula as ethyl alcohol.

[Calibax]

If the structure is CH3-O-CH3 then it's dimethyl ether
If it's CH3-CH2-OH (same empirical formula) then it's ethanol
Either way it has 9 atoms

[MJFan101]

So the total number of atoms for H3COCH3 would be 9?

Thanks For Your Help Everyone

yup

[factor-fiction]

Yes, 3+1+1+1+3 =9
