The molecular formula will be a multiple of the empirical CH2O. One unit of CH2O has a mass of 12+2*1+16 = 30 g. This means that if our compound has a molecular mass of 180 g/mol, we can divide 180 / 30 = 6 units, and our compound has 6 units of CH2O. This means that its molecular formula is C6H12O6.
Answer:
Metallic bonding may be described as the sharing of free electrons among a lattice of positively charged metal ions. The structure of metallic bonds is very different from that of covalent and ionic bonds. While ionic bonds join metals to nonmetals, and covalent bonds join nonmetals to nonmetals, metallic bonds are responsible for the bonding between metal atoms.
In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “sea” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions. The electrons then move freely throughout the space between the atomic nuclei.

Answer:
HCl
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Zn = 50 g
Mass of HCl = 50 g
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
Number of moles of Zn:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 50 g/ 65.38 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.76 mol
Number of moles of HCl:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 50 g/ 36.5 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.4 mol
Now we will compare the moles of Reactant with product.
Zn : ZnCl₂
1 : 1
0.76 : 0.76
Zn : H₂
1 : 1
0.76 : 0.76
HCl : ZnCl₂
2 : 1
1.4 : 1/2×1.4 = 0.7
HCl : H₂
2 : 1
1.4 : 1/2×1.4 = 0.7
Less number of moles of product are formed by HCl it will act limiting reactant.
