Arrangement of elements — practice question

The structures of seven compounds or elements, A, B, C, D, E, F and G, are shown. A is a three-carbon chain with hydrogen atoms. B is O=C=O. C shows a carbon-carbon double-bond structure with hydrogens. D has P bonded to three H atoms. E has C bonded to O-H and H atoms. F has sulfur bonded to three oxygens. G is a giant covalent structure. Answer the questions that follow about these structures. Each structure may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
