What is the empirical formula for C8H20F4

Chemistry
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
3 0

The given formula of C_{8} H_{2} O F_{4} can be written as C_{4} H_{10}-C_{4} H_{10}-F_{4}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Empirical formula is one of the way of representing the structural arrangement of any molecule. With this formula, we can guess the nearest atom or element in a heterogeneous molecules. Mostly the empirical and molecular formula differs for organic compounds.

As in organic compounds consists of chain of carbon and hydrogen elements. So while arranging them in a relation, we should remember that carbon should contain 4 nearby atoms and hydrogen can share only one electron to its nearby atom. Thus, a carbon can have three hydrogen and one carbon as neighbouring element.

So the given formula of C_{8} H_{2} O F_{4} can be written as

C_{4} H_{10}-C_{4} H_{10}-F_{4}

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

An area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside

Explanation:

A molecular orbital is an area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside.

Molecular orbitals are formed by linear combination of atomic orbitals of about the same energy. The number of atomic orbitals that are combined to give molecular orbitals is the same as the number of molecular orbitals formed. The build up of electrons in molecular orbitals also follow the Aufbau principle, Hund's rule and Pauli exclusion principle.

Please help! I’m on my last attempt
deff fn [24]
First line: The atomic number is the whole number on the periodic table so atomic number 35 means the element is bromine. Thus the element symbol is Br. The atomic number is also the number of protons in the isotope so the number of protons is 35. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the isotope so the mass number is 35+46 or 81. The mass number gives you the top left number on the nuclear symbol (it will look the same as the one below it except the 79 is an 81). Lastly, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom so 35 electrons.

A. If both Assertion &amp; Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. B. If both Assertion &amp
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

C. If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.

Explanation:

The burning of magnesium in air produces magnesium oxide as shown by the equation;

2Mg(s) + O2(g) -----> 2MgO(s)

The magnesium oxide solid is recovered as a white ash. This is a typical example of an oxidation reaction which is also a combustion reaction.

The reason has nothing at all to do with the assertion hence the answer given.

Magnesium oxide is basic just like the oxides of other metals and dissolves in water to yield an alkali.
