The metal is lead, Pb.
One unit of the oxide contains one atom of O (16.00 u).
∴ Mass of oxide = 16.00 u O × (100 u MO/7.17 u O) = 223.15 u MO
Mass of M = mass of MO – mass of O = 223.15 u -16.00 u = 207.2 u
The only element with an atomic mass of 207.2 u is lead (Pb) and the formula of the oxide is PbO.
It has more density when it sinks because the water pushes away thats why people float they are less dense
Answer:
nope its a myth don't worry :)
