Answer:
a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
(from goo gle)
A explanation for something that doesn't seem to be answered completely, usually very implausible.
Explanation:
The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and
nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:
C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22
H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25
N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22
Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:
C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5
N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
So the empirical formula is:
CHN
The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
Formula unit mass is defined as the sum of the mass of all the atoms each multiplied its atomic masses that are present in the empirical formula of a compound. It is expressed in amu.
Atomic mass of calcium = 40 amu
Atomic mass of chlorine = 35.5 amu
Formula mass of CaCl2 = (1 x 40) + (2 x 35.5) = 111amu.
