Answer:

Empirical formula: NbO_2

Explanation:

  • One oxide ion in the middle of each edge => cubes have 12 edges => O=12
  • One niobium atom at the center of each face => cubes have 6 faces => Nb=6

Cell formula: Nb_6O_{12}

Empirical formula: NbO_2

<em>This formula corresponds to a niobium valence of +4 </em>

What are fossils? *​
Katarina [22]

Answer:

mark me as the brainliest

Explanation:

Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms. Fossils are not the remains of the organism itself! They are rocks. A fossil can preserve an entire organism or just part of one. Bones, shells, feathers, and leaves can all become fossils.
