One can find there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms in one molecule of glucose. Hope this helps :) Have a great day :) Remember to always be positive :) 

Answer: 12 carbon atoms

Explanation:

Atom is the smallest unit of matter which may or may not have independent existence. Example: [tex]N[/tex]

Molecule is the smallest unit of matter which has a independent existence.Example: [tex]N_2[/tex]

1 molecule of [tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex] has 6 atoms of carbon

Thus if 1 molecule of [tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex] has carbon atoms = 3

4 molecules of [tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex] has total of =[tex]\frac{3}{1}\times 4=12atoms[/tex]

Thus there are 12 carbon atoms in four molecules of glucose.
