Answer is: there are ten atoms in one molecule of antifreeze.

One molecule of ethylene glycol (C₂H₄ (OH) ₂) has two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms (4 + 2 · 1) and two oxygen atoms (2 · 1). So there are:

2 + 6 + 2 = 10 atoms.

Ethylene glycol (C₂H₄ (OH) ₂) is an odorless, sweet-tasting, colorless viscous liquid.
