A molecule with the formula C₁₈H₃₆O₂ is most likely a

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule contains several instances of the "S1U1B" unit, which likely represents a fatty acid chain with a variable length of carbon and hydrogen atoms (represented by the "S" and "B" respectively). The "HS" likely represents a hydroxyl group (-OH) commonly found in fatty acids. The "O" likely represents a carbonyl group (-C=O) found at the end of a fatty acid chain. The other elements present in the molecule, such as oxygen (O) and sulfur (S), are also commonly found in fatty acids. Therefore, the most likely option is A) fatty acid. The other options (B, C, and D) do not have structures which incorporate the "S1U1B" units.
