Explain what the name carbohydrate might indicate about the chemical composition of sugars

Carbohydrate is a biological macromolecule, which has a general molecular formula .  

Technically, the name carbohydrates suggest that the molecules are the hydrates of carbon, composed of the elements hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. This is because, the ratio of hydrogen: oxygen in a carbohydrate molecule is 2:1, as in a water molecule.

the correct answer is boyle

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
