Since the Chlorine gained an electron, it became a chlorine ion with +1 charge. Therefore, it is Cl⁺¹.

Answer:

The charge would be -1.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons an atom has. Chlorine is electrically neutral, so it has the same  number of positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons). Therefore, chlorine has 17 protons and 17 electrons. When it gains 1 electron, it will have an excess of one negative charge, so the charge of the ion will be -1, forming Cl⁻.

Give the empirical formula for C↓8H↓8
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Empirical formula of  C₈H₈ =  CH

Explanation:

Data Given:

Molecular Formula = C₈H₈

Empirical Formula = ?

Solution

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

        C₈H₈ Consist of  Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)

Now

Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound

                         C : H

                         8 : 8

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H

                       8/8 : 8/8

                         1   :  1

So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of  C₈H₈ =  CH

Water circulates through Earth's water cycle by changing its _____.
iragen [17]
Water moved through the water cycle by changing its state. Think, for example, of water evaporating (liquid to gas), snow sublimating (solid to gas) or melting (solid to liquid), rain (gas to liquid), sleet (liquid to solid), or snow (gas to solid).

The answer would thus be A.
