Answer: electron on the shell of the atom
Explanation: that what I trying to remember
The arrangement of electron pairs around CH4 and NH3, According to the VSEPR model is the same, because in each case there are the same number of electron pairs around the central atom. So the NH3 and CH4 arrangement of electron pairs is the same because in each case there are the same number of electron pairs around the central atom.
Given :
Moles of Na : 1.06
Moles of C : 0.528
Moles of O : 1.59
To Find :
The empirical formula of the compound.
Solution :
Dividing moles of each atom with the smallest one i.e 0.528 .
So,
Na : 1.06/0.528 = 2.007 ≈ 2
C : 0.528/0.528 = 1
O : 1.59/0.528 = 3.011 ≈ 3
Rounding all them to nearest integer, we will get the number of each atom in the empirical formula.
So, empirical formula is
.
Hence, this is the required solution.
