Correct answer: C. NH4CNO
- A. CH3CONCH3
- B. NH2CONH2
- C. NH4CNO
- D. NH4CHO
Explanation
The formula is constructed from its constituent ions: the ammonium ion is NH4+and the cyanate ion is CNO-. Combining them in a 1:1 ratio to form a neutral salt gives the formula NH4CNO.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
